ABOKOBI: The Minister of Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong, has called for the adoption of digital farming techniques to boost agricultural productivity in Ghana. Speaking at an event hosted by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, the minister emphasized the transformative impact of digital innovation, including artificial intelligence, on farming practices and food production. According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Acheampong highlighted the benefits of integrating modern technology into agriculture, noting that such advancements are driving a digital revolution in the sector. He addressed the challenges faced by smallholder farmers who are hesitant to abandon traditional farming methods despite their past successes. The minister urged religious institutions, particularly the Presbyterian Church, to partner with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) to advocate for digital technology adoption in farming. Mr. Acheampong pointed to the Ghana Agriculture and Agribusiness Platform (GhAAP) as a key tool i n providing agribusiness value chain actors with essential information and resources. The platform offers services including real-time weather data, marketing information, and best farming practices, all intended to enhance productivity and support services for smallholder farmers. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has identified several barriers to the adoption of digital tools by farmers, including high costs, lack of skills, and inadequate infrastructure. Meanwhile, Dr. Abraham N. O. Kwakye, Moderator for the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, reaffirmed the Church's commitment to initiatives that address both the physical and spiritual needs of the community. The Church has historically contributed to Ghana's agricultural development and continues to collaborate with various organizations to implement effective interventions for farmers. Mrs. Rebecca Tagoe Sabah, National Director for DDSS, noted the Church's role in promoting youth employment through entrepreneurship hubs, which contributes to achieving 13 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
