I train smallholder farmers and coordinate climate-smart food systems programmes across Ghana.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
At Ghana Permaculture Institute, I coordinate five agricultural training centres and train farmers, youth, and women in vegetable production, beekeeping, moringa cultivation, mushroom farming, and value addition. I have supported women entrepreneurs with business plans and funding proposals and helped establish youth agribusiness groups running mushroom and vegetable enterprises.
Previously, I delivered agricultural extension services with Ghana’s Ministry of Food and Agriculture, supporting Planting for Food and Jobs through farmer registration, farm mapping, input distribution, yield assessments, and outreach. I’m committed to climate-resilient food systems, practical farmer training, and scalable solutions that strengthen rural livelihoods.
