The World Food Programme (WFP), as part of its Youth Link-Up against Hunger Series, engaged young people to explore opportunities in the agriculture value chain to foster food security and employment creation.
The conference, which was held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), brought together 200 youth who came to gain better insight into the agriculture sector to improve their activities as well as find solutions to the challenges they face along the value chain.
The Youth Link-Up against Hunger 2023 has the ultimate goal of encouraging young people to venture into the agriculture value chain, from farming and production to agro-processing and marketing, to ensure food security in the country while supporting Ghana to accelerate the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goal. This goal of the United Nations aims to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030.
Estimates place the number of Ghanaians who are food insecure at 1.5 million, or 4.5 per cent of the country’s population. With nearly half of Ghana’s population expected to be under the age of 25, the country’s population is expected to surpass 50 million by 2050, creating a tremendous opportunity to utilize young people’s potential in agriculture. Increased food production, rural development, job creation, entrepreneurial ventures, sustainable approaches, information dissemination, and social empowerment are just a few of the many benefits that this strategy can bring about.
The Youth Link-Up against Hunger-2023 was facilitated by Agricultural Journalist and YouTuber, Enyonam Manye where four other females working in the agricultural value chain had insightful discussions about their journey in the sector and its vast opportunities and the need to address pertinent issues hampering youth inclusion in the industry.
“Passion alone cannot drive your business. You need to set a goal and apply discipline to drive your vision” one of the speakers, Samuel Abroquah, an Agripreneur told the audience in response to a question on how he was able to make it in the sector.
Talking about quality of products and branding, Quality Assurance Officer from Yedent Agro-processor, Maame Yaa Kame-Ofori explained the importance of maintaining quality standards given the huge financial commitment required. “Quality is not cheap! Quality is expensive. But with quality, you increase your bargaining power, which will eventually pay off,” she said.
Feedback from the participants, largely students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science Technology shows the platform the WFP provided has helped in educating them about the need to harness the enormous entrepreneurship opportunities in the agricultural industry.
Henrietta Kweinorki Tawia, a 21-year-old second-year student of KNUST studying biomedical engineering said the session has helped her to gain a better understanding of the sector and how to network to “help me in my journey to becoming a farmer and an agricultural advocate”.
Another participant, 25-year-old Regan Acheampong, a Teaching and Research Assistant at the Department of Sociology and Social Work at KNUST, also revealed that the session has enlightened him to see what his father, a vegetable farmer, could do to increase his yields from his 2-acre farm. “I learned about good farming methods and the right approach to using chemicals to increase yields,” he noted.
Regan has also expressed interest in advancing advocacy to help farmers gain access to resources, as well as refuting the negative perception of farming as unprofitable.
Meanwhile, the Programme Policy Officer in charge of Gender and Youth Inclusion at the WFP Ghana Office, Ms. Tani Aduko Bukari has disclosed that the results of the Youth Link-Up against Hunger Series will influence WFP’s future programming.
According to her, the UN can assist Ghana in building a robust and sustainable agricultural sector that is equipped to handle present and future difficulties by investing in the country’s young farmers.
