Ghana lends support to AGRA

The government of Ghana has ratified the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) to demonstrate its support to help lift millions out of poverty through dramatic increases in productivity by small scale farmers.

Thirteen African countries are expected to join AGRA, which has a 10 to 20-year goal of assisting farmers to double or triple their yields.

AGRA has established partnerships with African institutions such as the African Union and NEPAD. The Alliance's approach is to increase food production in Africa by improving agriculture on small scale farms rather than by supplanting them with industrial farming.
