  3. Innovation in cooperative farming, Rwanda
    Innovation in cooperative farming, Rwanda

    Innovation in cooperative farming. Farmers work on terraced farmland supported by the Rwandese government and the World Bank in Kagano Village. Terrace farming promotes conservation techniques that increase productivity of key crops. Three-quarters of people who live in extreme poverty live in rural areas, and most rely on agriculture for their food and income. If these small farmers can boost their yields and get their surplus to market, they can feed their families, raise their incomes, and improve their quality of life. (Kibavu, Rwanda, 2010)
