FARMERS' DIALOGUE

Farmers Dialogue logo

OUR VISION

  • Where farmers renew their calling to feed the world.
  • Where Science and Economics are geared to human need.
  • To build farmer to farmer links across national boundaries and across set ways of thinking.
  • To create fresh perspectives for our industry.
  • To help farmers see themselves as an immediate road out of poverty for their community.
  • To encourage the consumption of locally grown food.
  • To strike a proper balance between farming and forestry in maintaining our soils.

Thanks to the international farmers’ meeting organised by the Rwandan Initiatives of Change team, in November 2011, I was able to make a third trip to Rwanda and meet with people who are warm-hearted, generous, hard-working and forward-thinking despite the ever-present traces of the past.

On 19 November, the Director General for farming from the Ministry of Agriculture for Rwanda officially opened the international farmers’ meeting, Farmers – men and women – working together for food security
