EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the stunning landscape of Rwanda, known as the "land of a thousand hills". In this African nation, population density reaches its peak in all of Africa. The image showcases an innovative agricultural practice called terracing, which is employed to maximize farming areas. The lush green fields stretch across the undulating hillsides, creating a picturesque scene that highlights both the beauty and productivity of this region. Each terrace is meticulously carved into the slopes, forming steps that prevent soil erosion while optimizing space for cultivation. Rwanda's commitment to sustainable development and efficient land use is evident in this photograph. The terraces not only allow farmers to grow crops such as wheat but also help combat erosion caused by heavy rainfall common in equatorial regions like East Africa. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring landscape from above, we are reminded of Rwanda's resilience and determination to overcome challenges. Despite its hilly terrain, rural communities have found ingenious ways to make every inch count when it comes to agriculture. This print serves as a testament to Rwanda's harmonious coexistence with nature and their unwavering dedication towards achieving food security for their people. It encapsulates the spirit of innovation and resourcefulness that defines this remarkable country within Sub-Saharan Africa.
