How Local Cooperatives in Rwanda Are Fighting Malnutrition Through Mushroom Farming

In the Cyanika Sector of Nyamagabe District, local farmers from the Vision Group, part of the Koi Kwi cooperative, are taking active steps to combat malnutrition in their community. Gathered under a shade, members systematically check mushroom-growing tubes as they prepare them for production.

These practical agricultural efforts are part of broader interventions by the Sustainable Agricultural Intensification and Food Security Project (SAIP), which focuses on improving nutrition and food security across the Southern and Western provinces of Rwanda.
