    • Dear all

      I am GASANA Jean Pierre from Rwanda the host of conference, greetings to the members and facilitators.

      1. Experience in agriculture

      Since I was in high schools, I used to help my family in banana production, but it was so tradition and poor. And this created the curiosity in me and asked my self why?. After high schools, I studied soil sciences at University of Rwanda College of Agriculture Animal science, and Veterinary Medicine and I improved my family banana production by teach them how to use the Organic amendment and chemical fertilizers, and now the production Improved.

      2. Success in Agriculture

      I have struggled to overcome the poor banana production which was too poor by start using amendments and fertilizers and the production improved, the eastern province of Rwanda have a hot climate but I have mulched and the production improved.

      3. Questions to expert

      How Rwanda and africa in general can overcome to relay on rainfed agriculture?

      How the soil of the tropical region can be conserved against the high rain?

      Thank you.
