US project encourages Ghana farmers to invest in organic
Mr Kwame Obeng, Natural Resources Communication Management Specialist with Coastal Sustainable Landscape Project (CSLP) announced this when he took Journalists to vegetables and aqua cultural demonstration sites at Kamgbunli in the Ellembele District.
He noted that organic farming had the potential to cultivate farm products without the application of any inorganic manure or chemicals.
According to him, such organic food products were ideal for the body as they had the tendency to prolong the life-span of consumers.
The USAID funded intervention project, which currently has 4 sites, namely Kamgbunli, Awiebo, Half-Assini and New Ankasa, aims at sustainable livelihood strategies for people in the Western Region.
Mr Obeng said that, so far, farmers in 41 communities in the Western region including 13 under his jurisdiction were practising organic farming due to its nutritional values for the body.
