Small-Scale Farming Debunked!

Ghana Urged to Embrace Commercial Farming for Food Security – DR. GIDEON AGBLEY

By Sharon Frimpomaa Opoku

Ghana’s farming future at a crossroads, with calls for a major shift in strategy! Despite 40% of the population working in agriculture, the nation still grapples with food security and prosperity.

Renowned expert Dr. Gideon Kofi Agbley from SSD University of Business and Integrated Development Studies in Wa, lays blame on the romanticized notion of small-scale farming.

Dr. Agbley, armed with eye-popping stats, reveals a harsh reality: a mere 7% of farmers dabble in medium and large-scale farming, stifling agricultural progress and perpetuating hunger.

His solution? A bold pivot to commercial farming! This fresh approach promises investments, job creation, and economic rejuvenation – a winner for Ghana’s budding middle class.

The Senior Lecturer challenges the status quo, pushing for a redistribution of support towards medium and large-scale farmers.

By empowering them with modern tools and practices, Ghana can supercharge agricultural output and squash food insecurity. Joining the chorus is author and journalist Keidi Awadu, who shines a spotlight on Africa’s agricultural potential.

With vast acres of land waiting to be utilized, Africa could potentially feed 12.9 billion people – a staggering figure if harnessed effectively.

Despite challenges like rural-urban migration and tech barriers, the path to success is clear: prioritize rural development, embrace modernization, and incentivize commercial farming.
