Safisana and Plan International Ghana teamed up to empower female farmers and market women in Ashaiman through hands-on training in sustainable agriculture and economic independence.

Together with female farmers we built a trellis structure to increase crop growth and improve the effect of organic farming techniques with our Asase Gyefo Premium Organic Fertilizer. This system is especially helpful in increasing exposure to sunlight, promoting air movement, and improving pe*******on of spray.

We spoke with market women in Ashaiman about marketing strategies and product placement to promote organic products. We’ve worked with the community to support health, income, and the environment.

A big thank you to our agronomist, The Eden Agronomist for his guidance and expertise throughout every step of the farmer engagements.

Soil Health

Healthy soils improve crop productivity and ensure enough food is available. It reduces the need (and dependence on) for expensive chemical fertilizers. It helps fight climate change by storing carbon. Lastly, healthy soils protect water sources by preventing erosion and pollution.

In fact, soil health is directly linked to food security, a key goal under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal – . Without healthy soil, it’s impossible to achieve food security in Africa.

Meet Asase Gyefo's very first brand Ambassador:

"Hi, my name is Emmanuel Tawia, I’m a Ghanaian-American social entrepreneur & farmer who relocated to Ghana to pursue my mission of fostering sustainable eco-tourism in Ghana while championing organic farming practices that benefit both the environment and local communities. By blending the beauty of Ghana’s rich biodiversity with innovative agricultural solutions, I aim to create a harmonious balance between nature, culture, and sustainable development.

Asase Gyefo Premium Organic Fertilizer is central
to my farming initiative, as it aligns with my commitment to organic practices.

As a proud brand ambassador for Asase Gyefo, I use this fertilizer to cultivate nutrient-rich crops like Sapote trees and Baobab trees, along with many other fruit crops I’ve collected from my travels in Jamaica. These crops play a vital role in promoting health and environmental sustainability.

Through these efforts, I aim to inspire others to adopt sustainable practices, protect Ghana’s natural environment, and uplift organic farming communities, creating a lasting impact for generations to come."

Due to this year’s elections in Ghana, we celebrate this Friday November 8th. On this annual day, we celebrate farmers and fishermen as they play a large part in Ghana's national food supply. As we work together with various farmers, we will celebrate this year's Farmers day on Friday together with Plan International Ghana with our project.

Here are a few facts about Ghana's agricultural landscape:
- Agriculture contributes to 54% of Ghana's GDP, and accounts for over 40% of export earnings.
- Ghana's agriculture provides over 90% of the food needs for the country.
- Most farmers in Ghana are smallholder, traditional farmers making use of the seasons (rain-fed agriculture).
- Women farmers make up approximately half of Ghana’s farmers.
- 57% of Ghana's total land area is classified as "agricultural land area".
- Most farmers experience depleted soil due to the extensive use of chemical fertilizers. Farmers are starting to understand the negative effects of chemical fertilizers on their land and consumer's health, opting for more organic alternatives like Asase Gyefo Premium Organic Fertilizer.

Stay tuned for this Friday, we will publish an exclusive interview with one of the female farmers Safisana works with. Before Friday, take a look the beautiful pictures of female farmer Ruby (34) and her family on her farm in Ashaiman.
