FARMERS in Kagera Region have been strongly encouraged to utilize human manure, which is a costfree commodity to stimulate soil fertility and increase crop productivity. A group of 20 farmers from Kagera Region who recently visited Kabale District, in neighbouring Uganda, were highly impressed in the use of human manure, which is known by a scientific name as eco-san toilet. The method is said to be environmentally friendly as opposed to the use of industrial fertilizers. Farmers from Muleba and Bukoba districts travelled to Uganda to learn agricultural methods being adopted by Ugandan farming communities who engage in sustainable farming.
