Nuclear technology is used in agriculture primarily through radiation and isotope techniques to improve crop yields, control pests, manage natural resources, and ensure food safety.

"Rwanda has therefore expressed its interest in participating in the Atoms4Food initiative, jointly supported by the IAEA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations."

The initiative supports countries in using nuclear and other technologies to improve agricultural and livestock productivity, manage natural resources, reduce food losses, improve food safety and nutrition, and strengthen resilience to climate change.
