01
Understand
Rwanda’s fast population growth and accelerated urbanisation is increasing pressure on land, water, and food resources. In addition to this, our current linear food system is based on a ‘take-makewaste’ model that leads to extraction of finite resources, air pollution as well as soil and water contamination, harming not only the environment but also the human health.
A circular food system, in contrast, can keep products and materials in use, regenerate natural systems and reuse waste.
