Farmers face climate challenges in Rwanda, Northern Ireland
Farmers in Rwanda and Northern Ireland are facing increasing challenges due to climate change, as highlighted in a recent discussion between Jackline Mugoboka from Rwanda and Louise Skelly from Northern Ireland. Mugoboka, who cultivates bananas, beans, and tomatoes in Rwanda, shared her experiences of climate-induced hardships, noting that these challenges disproportionately affect women, who make up 90% of Rwanda's farming population. The country is still recovering from the devastating floods and landslides of 2023.
