The East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer Foundation opened a learning farm at the University of Ghana on October 20, 2026. MyJoyOnline reported that country director Jemima Djah described the site as a place for internships and hands-on vegetable production, including a business module. The training covers practical steps such as mulching and using traps before turning to pesticides.
The foundation's four-year project is in its second year. Since 2023 it has trained more than 30,000 farmers in Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, Ashanti, and the Upper East, and another farm is planned in the Upper East. Students can intern on the Accra farm. It also gives partners based in the capital a place to see the work without traveling to the middle-belt sites. The opening is a training place. It is not a harvest figure, and it is not a claim about the national food supply.
