Descripción
Agriculture is the engine of growth and economic development of Burundi, Ethiopia and Rwanda. In a region where smallholder agriculture is dominant and rural households depend on it for their livelihoods, the adoption of agricultural technologies and better practices are key to align the agricultural production systems with conserving natural resources and mitigating the effects of climate change. In all three countries, rice consumption, and therefore, its production have increased over the past ten years.In Burundi, rice cultivation is of great interest to the population, who seek food security and self-sufficiency. Regarding fish, the unrestricted fishing system and the inappropriate fisheries management measures are the main factors causing overexploitation and reduction of the catches.
