Original Text


After three years in a refugee camp, we decided to return back to Rwanda. And our struggle with food continued. However, farming proved to be the only reliable source of food. But our food lacked the nutritional diversity, and we continued to depend on food assistance from the United Nations World Food Program to balance our diet.

Still today, more than 70 percent of Rwandans, they work in the agriculture sector. But malnutrition and stunting remain rampant. I came to realize that food insecurity and malnutrition were not happening because people were not farming enough; it was because people were not farming the right crops.
