Ghana currently spends over $1 billion on food imports, making it highly susceptible to price hikes. One way to prevent this, is to invest in local entrepreneurs like Janet Gyimah-Kessie. She has a large-scale cassava processing operation which not only increases local food production, but also creates employment and a market for other local cassava producers.

Fish Farming in Ghana
Tags :Fish, Farming, Ghana, Africa, World, Bank

Ghana alone needs about 880000 tonnes of fish annually, but all she produces is a little over 42000 tonnes. That means the demand for fish in Ghana is greater that the supply. For that reason, National Fish Farmers Brigade - Ghana (NFFB) is inviting all interested people all over the world to come and join them to produce more fish to feed the country and export to other countries.

Not-For Profit Source Trust is a not-for-profit organisation set up by Armajaro Trading Ltd to help farmers improve their livelihoods through better crop yields and quality, achieved through sustainable farming practices. Source Trust works with farmers through the delivery of projects designed to develop their business knowledge and farming skills. Source Trust's projects pave the way for long-term, sustainable commodity production, whilst enhancing farmers' business prospects. Funded By Voluntary Premiums Source Trust is funded by voluntary premiums paid on traceable commodities by Source Trust's partners. These premiums fund projects that work directly with the same farmers who grew the traceable commodity bought by the Source Trust partner. Where possible, Source Trust seeks to match these premiums with donor funding to increase their impact. Helping The Farmer Source Trust's projects cover all aspects that will help the farmer to increase their crop yield and quality as well as develop their business, including training on Good Agricultural Practice, seed nurseries and planting material, farm inputs and equipment on credit, Village Resource Centres (providing access to IT based farmer training and the internet), malaria prevention and community infrastructure.

Yusif Hadi is a dedicated cattle and agriculture farmer from the village Koyukuo in Ghana. He talks about by the lack of rainfall, the consequences on the animal feed and how they are changing the feeding habits of the heard supplementing the fodder with maize husks and groundnut tops. Another way that Yusif has adapted to the changes in the climate and lack of rain is by planting maize that grows in three months instead of the regular four months.

My host father owns a farm in Kasapin so Sumble and I went with him one day to see it. It was a really special opportunity which I didn't miss to film. Before I left for Ghana I saw a similar video from Kasapin where the volunteer filmed the walk through the farm but I am yet to find it again. We enter the farm where the cocoa trees are growing, next are the citrus trees then finally the maize crops right at the back. We helped plant some maize but it got too hot at midday so our host dad hacked down half a dozen palm leaves for us to sit on in some shade!

Farmers in the Upper West Region of Ghana are finding that rising temperatures and increasingly unpredictable rains are compounding the long-running problems of population pressure and declining soil fertility. The CGIAR's Climate Change Research Program, led by CIAT, is seeking sustainable scientific solutions to help small farmers prepare for - and rise to the challenge of - climate change. The Two Degrees Up series of photo stories takes a closer look at the scale of the challenge ahead. For more, visit www.ciat.cgiar.org and www.ccafs.cgiar.org.
