Conservation agriculture with trees in Rwanda: A training manual

Rwanda is a small country with a surface area of 26,338 square kilometres, which is characterized by very small landholdings at an average of 0.7 hectares per household. The majority of the land is mountainous and subject to soil erosion, which causes the loss of key soil nutrients and organic matter, leading to soil acidification and land degradation. Due to the small size of most farms, there is no fallow, so the soil is overcultivated through conventional agriculture which exposes soil organic matter to oxidation and accelerates soil erosion.
