Rwanda Reaps First Peace Harvest

Subsisting on food provided by international donors, hundreds of thousands of displaced Rwandans are finally returning to their farms. The Rwandan government, FAO and other UN agencies provided the seed, tools and fertilizers which have already helped farmers like Domina to reap a modest harvest. Lack of grazing land for cattle, and low cereal production remain a problem. An estimated $20 million dollars is urgently needed to sustain Rwanda's agricultural recovery. (3 min.)
