A Chinese agronomist is encouraging households in the country to grow mushroom to fight poverty and bolster food production. Lin Zhansen, an agronomist at Kabuye describes the mushrooms as a better crop suitable for Rwanda. They can grow on poor soils and produce high yields. It is estimated that at least 1.6 tonnes of mushrooms can be produced on 30 square metres land.
