Forestry and Agricultural Investment Management (FAIM Rwanda)
Reducing poverty in African farming communities
Agriculture, forestry & fishing | Africa | Agricultural Productivity |
Overview
Founded in 2011 FAIM has established the first tissue culture lab and plant propagation facility of its kind in Africa producing clean disease free planting materials demonstrating how such plants combined with good agronomy can increase production and teaching sustainable agriculture techniques. FAIM plants increase farmer productivity 5 to 10 times current yields. This is key to enhancing food security in Rwanda which has one of the lowest levels of agricultural productivity in all of Africa and the lowest rate of nutrition in the region.
