IFDC Burundi

Farmers in #Burundi are adopting resilient agriculture, through #PAGRIS, Marginal plots are becoming productive, with stones scattered throughout the plots cleared to make way for arable land and to form an anti-erosion system. More on #PAGRIS: buff.ly/37FtS1D

Day 2 of the #PSSD workshop was captivating with engaging sessions. The speakers & the group shared amazing insights & experiences on the different themes of the project. Participants acquired in-depth knowledge on seed pre-order system & certification and approval of varieties.

With the support of @IFDCGlobal & @NLinBurundi, the Institute of Agronomic Sciences of Burundi, @isabu_officiel, has produced 2022 #SoilAcidity & #Fertility maps. Click below to access the maps👇 1️⃣ ifdc.org/wp-content/upl… 2️⃣ ifdc.org/wp-content/upl… 3️⃣ ifdc.org/wp-content/upl…

The first day of the #PSSDproject workshop has successfully concluded! PSSD, in collaboration with @100KIT, presented the project's success stories. Staff also held interactive and constructive discussions with partners on the project's impact. @NLinBurundi @IFDCGlobal @boudyvs

A Reflect & Adapt Workshop for the PSSD project, funded by @NLinBurundi, was held today in Bujumbura. Attendees discussed performance & shared success stories on different project themes to pave a way for the smooth implementation of PSSD2. @IFDCGlobal @100KIT @boudyvs

Food is one of the most basic human rights and needs. #SmallHolderFarmers cater to the needs of people by providing abundant supply of food to satiate the hunger of every person. Helping #farmers grow more food is key to lifting rural communities out of poverty. #ZeroHunger

To restore & maintain productive #soils, #PAGRIS project supports #farmers in #Burundi using #GoodAgriculturalPractices to preserve long-term #SoilHealth. Learn more about the Soil Fertility Stewardship Project #PAGRIS here: ifdc.org/projects/soil-…

In #Burundi, 90% of the estimated 10 million people depend on subsistence #agriculture. However, Sustainable management of #SoilFertility is the key challenge for #farmers to optimize a sustainable yield. Learn how #PAGRIS is tackling this issue: ifdc.org/projects/soil-…

Fertilizer nutrients are essential for #food and nutrition security. However, the impact of fertilizer, depending on its use, can be either positive or negative. How does #fertilizer contribute to #ClimateChange & what is being done to prevent this? :ifdc.org/2021/10/12/ask…

To reduce the levels of poverty in #Burundi, #PAGRISProject improves #farmers' access to #fertilizers and educates the farmers on sustainable land management to increase efficiency and #production. Read more: ifdc.org/projects/soil-…

A sight of the breathtakingly beautiful #Burundi landscape distinguished by its hills & valleys FUN FACT: Did you know that #agriculture in Burundi is the backbone of Burundi’s economy? What do you know about Burundi? buff.ly/3GVsQ0K

#Soil biodiversity is key to global #FoodSecurity! In 2021, #PAGRIS supported national research institutes on elaborating national #SoilFertility maps & studying the feasibility of improving the use of dolomite in #Burundi to tackle #SoilAcidity. Read: ifdc.org/projects/soil-…

Engaging with #farmers helps us to focus better on our #PSSDproject and develop #Sustainable solutions for our #RuralFarmers in #Burundi Discover more about the project here👉:ifdc.org/projects/priva…

Why invest in #agriculture? Agriculture provides most of the world’s food & is an excellent tool for reducing poverty. #FoodSecurity #SDGs #SDG1 #NoPoverty #InvestInAg #SDG2 #ZeroHunger #FoodSystems #Sustainability #SustainableAgriculture #Development

#Soils are essential to #PlantNutrition, healthy ecosystems, and #agriculture. However, the impacts of #climatechange, including heavy rainfall, lead to #SoilErosion. Learn more from Micael Beun, @IFDCGlobal's Country Representative in #Burundi: buff.ly/3TWydzG

IFDC researchers develop & refine technologies & practices that improve #NutrientManagement & strengthen #productivity. These innovations play an important role in helping #farmers build resilience to a changing #climate & thrive under stress-prone conditions, such as #drought.

According to @UN, hunger is not caused by food shortage alone but by a combination of natural, social & political forces. Natural resources that are necessary for human survival include soil. Learn how #climatechange is contributing to soil degradation: ifdc.org/2022/04/21/cli…

In #Burundi, protecting and restoring #soilfertility through integrated farm management contributes significantly to strengthening the resilience of these #farmers to climate change, as the #HornofAfrica faces #drought conditions. #PAGRISProject Read: ifdc.org/2022/04/21/cli…

In 2021, PSSD Project funded by @NLinBurundi achieved great results. #SmallHolderFarmers acquired beneficial skills through training on good #agricultural practices & were able to purchase quality seeds from PSSD partners, boosting their production. Watch: buff.ly/3SvEAsW

Presentation of the mid-term evaluation results of #PAGRISProject, the study showed a positive point toward the achievement of the expected results & impacts of the project. The session saw the participation of several institutions, both public & private.
