A new environmental and agricultural project has been launched in the Rusizi District to promote climate-resilient farming practices. The initiative focuses on planting trees alongside crops to restore degraded land and improve local nutrition.
The project involves planting a variety of tree species, specifically prioritizing fruit-bearing trees and those effective in soil erosion control. By integrating these trees into existing agricultural systems, officials aim to enhance sustainable farming methods and support the long-term well-being of the local population.
The program is designed to address the dual challenges of land degradation and food insecurity. Through the promotion of agroforestry, the initiative seeks to mitigate the impacts of climate change while providing residents with access to nutritional resources.
