Agriculture Harvest Impact

About - GreenTech YR 1.0

Agriculture is a vital part of Ghana’s economy, supporting a large portion of the population. However, the sector faces numerous challenges, including outdated farming techniques, limited access to modern technologies, and a declining interest in farming among the youth. Addressing these issues is crucial for ensuring sustainable agricultural development and food security. GreenTech Youth Revolution aims to revitalize the agricultural sector by equipping the youth with modern agricultural skills, creating employment opportunities, and improving market access for farmers.
