This project consists of the formulation of a nutrient-rich porridge flour for infants and young children, using locally available foods in Rwanda to address the problem of child malnutrition which is one of the main public health problems in the country.
From Waste whey generated from cheese, this project aims at making food products through processing. The food products from waste whey are nutritious and will not be thrown away as waste water. This could generate even more income in addition to the income from the made cheeses.
This innovative project aims at producing composite flour of selected food as a way of fighting malnutrition and stunting. There will be the selection of raw material to be used, washing and pilling them; Chopping them into small pieces, Drying, Milling and Packaging.
This innovative project of consists in processing of Spicy Carrot Juice and Development of Carrot Breads, Doughnut and Cakes will focus on addressing malnutrition by Production of nutritious and high quality of Carrot Juice and Carrot Bakery product rich in Vitamin A.
This innovation project is about precision farming using none-technology based wireless sensor network. The nanotechnology electronics has potential to improve the quality, safety and availability of the food that we eat. Developing and implementing such application will involve the design and fabrication of biologically sensitive none-sensor for detection of specific chemical/ biochemical signals, and macro-, nanoelectromechanical actuators that can respond to those signals
The innovation consists in developing improved technology packages for upland rice production through breeding and selecting highly yielding, high nutritional content and good quality characteristics rice cultivars This will be a solution to the need for cultivating rice in marshland in a country where land has become scarce.
This project seeks to address the challenge of waste management while strengthening farming by integrating urban organic waste stream into integrated agriculture by reducing greenhouse gas, addressing environmental pollution, reducing land required, reducing waste management cost, providing nutrients for soil as well as generating animal feed protein products will be addressed in this innovation project
The project will exploit local knowledge of the beneficiaries, namely the Bee keepers with knowledge about bee keeping in addition, the project aims at introducing innovative information and communication technology solution that will help bee farmers monitor in real time the conditions inside the hives. This solution will be developed using sensors of temperature and humidity.
Having seen that farmers growing staple crops especially maize growers are constantly suffering from post-harvest losses (22%of total produce), due to poor handling techniques. this project developed a solar powered drying system from recent existing models, and is capable of trapping and fixing incoming solar radiation such that it develops a peak temperature of 50 degree Celsius and dry in three hours, instead of four weeks.
