No results found.Rural women play a key role in the agriculture and food system, yet, besides the agriculture activities, they have to do home chores as well. FAO, through the Rural Women Economic Empowerment project (RWEE) distributed energy-efficient cooking stoves to reduce the workload and so that they may get time to take care of themselves. During COVID-19 restrictions in Rwanda, husbands have been supporting women with the household chores to reduce their workload. New projects were launched to support the government of Rwanda, such as, one that will introduce fertilizer recommendations to improve Rwanda’s soil fertility and increase food security for smallholder farmers. As the world emerges out of the COVID-19 crisis, we celebrate the efforts of all the farmers who have kept the food chain/system going, making sure people can still get food in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis. We encourage people to eat fruits and vegetables to improve their immune system and promote healthy diets through the international year of fruits and vegetables running this year 2021. -
