On April 28th, 2025, a field visit in Rulindo District provided a visual comparison between two farming approaches: one based on timely planting using climate and weather information, and another planted later as part of a deliberate family strategy.
The visit, organized by the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT and the Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB), aimed to highlight how climate information services influence agricultural decision-making and outcomes. This activity builds on the groundwork laid by the Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA) and the BRAINS Project, whose ongoing efforts to strengthen climate-resilient bean value chains and support smallholder farmers have significantly contributed to shaping and informing ECREA’s interventions in the region
