Former President John Dramani Mahama has launched the “Feed Ghana Programme,” a flagship initiative aimed at modernizing agriculture, enhancing food security, and driving economic transformation in Ghana. The programme is a key component of his Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA), designed to create jobs, reduce food inflation, and improve livelihoods through sustainable agricultural practices.
One of the major interventions under the programme is the Promotion of Smart Agriculture. The government will establish Farmer Service Centers across the country, providing mechanization services, quality inputs, financing, market access, primary processing, and training for farmers. This initiative aims to support farmers and enhance agricultural productivity.
The programme also includes other key interventions, such as scaling up production of grains and legumes, promoting vegetable development through controlled environment farming, and engaging schools in institutional farming to improve meal quality and promote agriculture as a viable career path.
By focusing on research, inclusivity, and climate-conscious implementation, the Feed Ghana Programme seeks to transform agriculture into a significant driver of national growth and shared prosperity.
