Abstract
"The world climate is increasingly changing, causing troubles to environment and we need to act urgently if we are to avoid an irreversible build-up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and global warming at a potentially huge cost to the economy and society worldwide.133The huge challenges of food shortage hitting many countries in Africa as a result of the droughts devastate countries. Kenya, Ethiopia and southern Sudan provide visible examples.134 Rwanda is a highly populated and landlocked country located in East Africa. In Rwanda, the potential of agricultural production is relatively high and human activity has been changing the natural ecosystems through agriculture while urbanization is at glance. Paper delivered at the international consultation on "Resources and Best Practice Models for Ecotheology, Climate Justice and Food Security", held at the Academy of Volos, Demetriades Diocese of Church of Greece, 10-13 March, 2016
