Rwanda has a population of 7.5 million people with a growth rate of 3.7 percent. This country has one of the highest population densities in all of Africa. With the rapid population growth Rwanda’s natural resources are being exerted. 90% of the population works in agriculture but population growth has outpaced food production. As a result more farms are being produced causing deforestation, habitat loss and a decrease in livestock. To try to produce more food farmers are trying to grow more on their land by increasing their number of crops and decreasing the cycle it takes, thus causing soil degradation. With less cattle manure, it is harder to fertilize the soil, leading to poor crops. Soil Erosion is also a problem with the increase of crops, especially because most of Rwanda’s farming is at high elevations, with many hills. With Rwanda’s rapid population growth and insufficient agriculture production it has led to malnutrition of their people. Also farming leads to deforestation, which causes habitat loss and subsequently decreases biodiversity. Wood is being used for domestic use and fuel consumption creating an increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Being a mostly rural country they depend on the agriculture for survival, new ways will have to be implemented so that they can sustain themselves on their land with health crops.
