The training programs emphasized the importance of crop rotation, composting, and conservation agriculture to improve soil fertility and reduce soil erosion.

The program's geographic focus was on Eastern Province, where the majority of Rwanda's agricultural production takes place. The region's agricultural sector is critical to the country's economic development, and the program's success has significant implications for Rwanda's food security and economic growth. The program's findings and recommendations can inform future agricultural development initiatives in Rwanda and other countries facing similar challenges.
