Climate-Smart Farming Revitalizes Agriculture in Northern Ghana Amid Challenges.

Ghana’s agriculture sector, particularly in the northern regions, has been hit hard by recurring droughts and disruptions in vegetable imports from Burkina Faso, causing a significant decline in crop yields. Once a hub for key crops like tomatoes and onions, northern Ghana now faces reduced food production.In response, innovative solutions like Smart Farmers Ghana are gaining traction.
