Agriculture is critical in achieving the SDG 2 of zero hunger by 2030 in Ghana. Therefore agriculture is absolutely central to achieving the country’s food security, and the promotion of sustainable agriculture. Yet Agriculture faces challenges from changing consumer demand, decreasing youth involvement, inefficient value chains, climate change, and water shortages. The situation is worsened by the impact of current global economic crisis caused by covid 19 and the Ukraine war resulting in hiking input costs and lack of credit.
Our Agriculture and Food Security programme seeks to address the underlying challenges that inhibit farmers access to natural resources, productive inputs, financial and advisory services as well as market opportunities. Our interventions in this area involve capacity building and networking of farmers, promoting Youth in Agriculture, and Agriculture value chain development, climate resilient agriculture and Policy Advocacy. We also facilitate linkage of farmers to other value chain actors such as financial institutions, input dealers, mechanization service providers, marketers, and transporters.
