There is compelling evidence of ageing farmer population in
the country which must be addressed to facilitate sustainability in agriculture
production. The average age of farmer in Ghana is 55 years and life expectancy
averages between 55 – 60 years.
The poor image of persons involved in agriculture,
especially in the rural communities needs to be changed and the youth are
the ideal catalyst such change given their greater prosperity and
wiliness to adapt new ideas, concept and technology which are all important to
changing the way agriculture is practiced and perceived.
Increase productivity in agricultural sector depends on the
youth who compromise about 20 – 30 of Ghana’s active population. Their energy
and numbers provide tremendous opportunities for increasing agricultural
productivity. (MoFA, 2011).
Let us Unite to fill the gap and be the solution to ensure
Sustainable Food Production in Ghana.
Congratulations!!!!!
"the Best Culture is Agriculture"
