PEACE & FOOD SECURITY
Visual storytelling that shows how conservation agriculture is helping farmers on Idjwi Island in eastern DRC, where many had been giving up on land that no longer produced. Bienfait Mugenza, Founder & Director of Congo Peace Academy, and his team came to Kigali in 2024 to learn Foundations for Farming Conservation Agriculture at B2R Farms, then returned to train in our field agent model. Today they have trained 6,700 farmers and aim to make Idjwi a demonstration hub for the whole of the DRC.
