Planting with Precision: How Weather and Climate Information is Changing Bean Farming in Rwanda

Imagine weather information as a GPS for farmers. Without it, the journey becomes uncertain, filled with wrong turns and delays. But with it, farmers can navigate their seasons with confidence, planting at the right time, avoiding risks and reaping better harvests.

In Rwanda’s Rulindo District, a hands-on capacity-building training in Rusiga Sector, Kirenge Cell, brought this concept to life. As one of the key beneficiary areas under the ECREA project, the community welcomed a collaborative effort led by the Alliance, alongside the Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB).
