• Advance research and innovation in regenerative agriculture and climate-resilient farming systems, leveraging AGRIPI as a platform for evidence generation and practical application.

• Strengthen knowledge transfer and capacity building by equipping farmers, agripreneurs, and researchers with cutting-edge, science-backed agricultural practices.

• Test, validate, and promote innovative technologies that address key agricultural challenges while supporting Rwanda’s national strategies for sustainable food systems.

• Pioneering Joint Research with the University of Rwanda:  AGRIPI has been conducting a groundbreaking study in collaboration with the University of Rwanda on the effects of regenerative agriculture (RA) practices on maize, beans, and Irish potatoes in Rwanda’s context. The research has yielded valuable preliminary data, with well-established composite sites and field trials, providing critical insights into soil health and productivity improvements.

• Empowering  Farmers, Including Youth, in Regenerative Agriculture: AGRIPI has successfully trained and equipped 346 farmers with practical skills in RA practices, fostering widespread adoption of sustainable farming techniques that enhance soil fertility, increase crop yields, and improve resilience to climate change.

• Launching the Green Agribusiness Incubation Program (2024): Recognizing the importance of youth in agriculture, AGRIPI initiated this program in 2024, successfully incubating a cohort of 7 young innovators who have since graduated. These promising entrepreneurs have officially registered Gwiza Initiative Ltd, a company now operating in Gasabo, Kinyinya, specializing in high-quality compost and organic mulch production. With 10.5 million Rwf in seed capital, they are already driving tangible impact in Rwanda’s organic agriculture landscape.
