An Overview of the Current Agriculture and Food Systems in Place in Ghana

The country has recently turned to industries dominated by industries and services, but agriculture continues to play an important role in the economic sector. The Ghana Department of Food and Agriculture pointed out that various areas such as coastal fishery and small scale agriculture, cocoa beans, rubber, sugarcane, palm oil support various types of agricultural techniques and production types. Forests, livestock rearing, and fruit of yam, rice, millet, shea butter and cola cultivated in the northern prairie.

Ghana's agricultural policy is included in the Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy (FASDEP) as a continuation of agricultural growth and development acceleration strategy (AAGDS) as a private growth engine (MOFA 2007). Current agricultural policy document is FASDEP II (MOFA 2007). FASDEP II became necessary after poverty and social impact analysis (PSIA) showed that FASDEP I, developed in 2002, was unable to achieve the expected impact on poverty (MOFA 2007). Therefore, the development of FASDEP II aims to provide a flat environmental foundation for all categories of farmers, paying particular attention to the poor and the vulnerable.

Amagloh is a food scientist at the Savanna Agricultural Research Institute (SARI) in Ghana. This laboratory is one of the 13 institutions of the Ghana Scientific Industry Research Council. Researchers located 16 kilometers west of Tamale in the northern part of the country developed and introduced an improved technique to increase agricultural productivity. Soybean Innovation Lab, headed by the University of Illinois, is the only US international development agency specializing in soybean research and development. An international team of experts in tropical soybeans provides technical support to practitioners in charge of soybean development such as private enterprises, NGOs, extension workers, agronomists, agricultural research systems, etc.

Promoting the production of more food from the agricultural system is a major component of the food security agenda (Guillou & Matheron, 2014), but agricultural production now provides enough food to support the spread of the world population (Food and Agriculture Organization, 2011). 1/2 et al. , 2016); This food is not best suited for people who need food, in part due to the way foods are restricted and the entire supply chain is wasted (BIS, 2011). In the latter case, 30% to 50% of the 4 billion tons of food produced each year is estimated to be wasted (Gustavsson et al., 2011). In many countries 20% to 40% of food production is lost before pests leave the farm (Lundqvist, de Fraiture & Molden, 2008). In some developed countries, 30% to 50% of the food has been thrown away from supermarkets and homes "All" date passed or was discarded after meals (Rayner & Lang, 2012)
