| dc.description | Given that up to 70 percent of Ghana’s population is rural, lives under the national poverty line and predominantly depends on agricultural activities as their main source of income, there is a strong linkage between agricultural development and innovation and rural poverty reduction efforts in the Ghanaian context Despite national trends in the last 20 years pointing to a decreased percentage contribution of agriculture to national Gross Domestic Product ( the current economic transformation trend has not been inclusive enough of historically marginalized communities, especially the rural poor and agricultural workers In this context, the Government of Ghana identified the need to make agriculture more productive, profitable, inclusive and innovative moving forward This vision stemmed from the vision for the agricultural sector to become a main driver of sustainable and inclusive economic growth as Ghana works towards delivering on its commitments under the framework of Africa’s Renewed Partnership to End Hunger by 2025 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). | |
