A review of World Vision’s Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) project in East Rwanda has revealed an increase in the rates of adoption from 7,500 to 13,400 smallholder farmers. The success attributed to extension agents who by word of mouth spread the word on the land generation technique has also translated to an increase in areas managed with FMNR practices and transformed livelihoods through the sale of grafted seedlings.
