For many years, erosion and floods have damaged the Rwandan land. To fix this, different groups have been working together on agroforestry, which means growing trees and crops together. The DeSIRA project, funded by the European Union and implemented by International Union for Conservation of Nature- IUCN, Enabel, and CIFOR-ICRAF along with the Universities of Rwanda, Ghent, and KU Leuven, is helping farmers by sharing useful research and training to improve agroforestry in Rwanda.
