Rukiga District Farmers Champion New Terracing and Conservation Techniques

In a bid to safeguard fertile volcanic soils from erosion on steep hillsides, farming clusters across Rukiga have united under modern conservation initiatives.

During yesterday’s agricultural forum covered by RUKIGA FM reporters, representatives highlighted how stone bunds, vetiver grass planting, and reinforced bench terraces have dramatically improved yields for beans, Irish potatoes, and sorghum.

Community leaders praised the proactive cooperation of youth groups who provide labor and technical advice, proving that collective grassroots action protects both community livelihood and ecological heritage.

RUKIGA FM will continue tracking these agricultural developments on AMANI GOMUKOZI with live call-ins every Tuesday.
