Five months ago the #COVID_19 pandemic was reported in Rwanda. Our youth farmers have never been discouraged from doing their businesses. @gloria_mutuzo is one of the young farmers who continues to make progress in her work & is now harvesting between 1-2tons of chilli per week.

@AGR_RESEARCH had a promising conversation with @FreshBoxRW on how to reduce post-harvest food losses and maintain food value chains using comprehensive storage #coldrooms to extend the shelflife of the produce, mostly of fruits and vegetables.

There are 7.8 billion people in the world. We grow enough food to feed 10 billion. The problem is not production. Persistent and chronic #hunger is the result of poverty, inequality, conflict, poor governance and marginalization of the most vulnerable. #SOFI2020
