The project action is Agricultural scientific technology economic innovation for promoting  the farming communities  agriculture productivity and marketing through application of social science and technology innovation  to enable out-growers/smallholder farmers, customers and consumers use scarce resources in the production rice and maize for sustainable agribusiness economic development, effective marketing, improve food security,  zero hunger and consumption of food products. The project action is to sustained food crops production impact development in the northern region’s rural and urban farming communities for improving agribusiness economic, poverty and hunger reduction to meet the SDG target.

The partners and  Agricultural Commercial Ventures (Agricom)   will train and support its network out-growers and support them with  farm input equipment and materials  such as rice seeds, fertilizers, weedicites, tractor services and planters, extension services, training in agriculture and environmental sustainability, monitoring and evaluation. After farmers harvesting, the farmers will sell their produce to the partnership Agricultural Commercial Ventures (Agricom) for processing, packaging and marketing. Overall goal of this project is to improve livelihoods, food and nutrition security, and climate resilience in the farming communities.

The Enterprise feasibility study and research work shows that the Climate change system is a problem affecting sustainable agriculture development that is increasing  poverty, and  food insecurity and Hunger  in the Northern Region’s Districts communities and can derail the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Us we fore seen the climate

The scale of the problems are land and ecosystem degradation, green house gas emissions and bush-fires burning due to these we conducted environmental capacity education for community people and farmers and engaged them in conservation and climate change adaptation while food production, environmental sustainability and management; 25,000 people are affected due to these problems, the factors are more frequent degradation of ecosystem and farm lands by charcoal burners, hunters and contractors and  occurrences of climate change; climate events and biodiversity conservation are adapted by the farmers to avoid the problems of floods, droughts, and heat waves. The consequences result is low food production, low economic income and poverty.   In our research study 500 hectors of farm lands and environmental ecosystem are degraded.  The said districts communities has potential of agricultural production and  markets improvement through effective sustainable environmental services, management and protection.   Land degradation affects large areas and many people in the northern regions of Ghana. Increased population pressures and excessive human expansion into northern region for farming during long wet periods leaving an increasing number of people stranded without farm land to farm. 

The target groups are community out-growers including women, disables and youth for Improving direct food production chain between producers,
exporters, processors, wholesalers and develop retailers on the one
hand and partnership enterprise crops production on the other hand with
the aim of building long-term market partnerships that will attract
investors and economic growth. The farmers currently undeserved due to unavailable of lands caused by degradation. The solution will address their needs by conducting environmental education in climate change adaptation, conservation in the target areas to cover most climate change-affected farming communities in the Northern Region. Within the defined areas, the project will assist small- and Medium-scale out-growers including women, youth and disables to acquire fertile farm land for them and ensure their access to inputs.
The partner enterprise has developed and improved policies and governance mechanisms to address farmers sustainable production by reducing hazardous of climate change and environmental degradation in agriculture and forestry sectors; The organization has improved implementation of policies and international instruments for sustainable agriculture food products marketing and income and improved livelihood in the urban and rural communities.; The project growth in production has increased the supply chain, access to food, and consumption of rice and maize products; and increased financial performance, and the efficiency of water and land use among rural and urban poor households through the adoption of environmental sustainable systems; 

The organization  have conducted research in ecosystem sustainability, effective agriculture production and marketing  with the participation of farmers and community people  in all the farming communities

 We executed the solution with collaborative organization  partners already working in the communities; supporting community smallholder farmers rice and maize production. The partnership engaged community people and out-growers in the project solution for climate change adaptation and conservation, cultivating food crops that have significant market demand and being well suited for food security sustainability and economic growth.

We engaged the farmers in  Capacity building training education and field staff in scientific technology innovative agriculture productivity, extension services effective environmental sustainability, Climate change effects and adaptation along the value chain, agribusiness industrial development, business management, marketing, financial book keeping and banking.

The pilot project covered most climate change-affected farming communities in the Northern Region. Within the defined areas of Pishigu farming community, the project assist small- and Medium-scale out-growers including women, youth and disables .

The HP Girls will be trained to take up environmental sensitization education workshops in all the communities to create environmental  resilient  in the community ecosystem, they will educate the community people through sensitization environmental campaigns for the communities  to know the disasters of water pollution, green house gas emissions, land and ecosystem degradation that creates water shortages, food insecurity, hunger and community underdevelopment, in order to meet the present needs of  ecosystem resilient development, the HP Girls will strategize issues and undertake adaptation measures such as education community people and farmers to cope with changing situations through biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation, eliminate green house gas emissions, reduce bush-fires and water bodies chemical pollution, encourage establishing water sheds and tree plantation .

  There is the need for the HP Girls  to address the problems to support the farmers’ production by ensuring environmental sustainability through biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation education for reducing deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and water bodies’ chemicals pollution. HP Girls  will save and support production, marketing and  environmental sustainability through market information and biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation for elimination  land degradation, reduction desertification and greenhouse gas emissions as well as reducing water bodies chemicals pollution.

The HP Girls  made decisions based on evidence for sustainable environment for agriculture production and fertile land while addressing climate change and environmental degradation, increased food security, hunger reduction and well-being development.  

  The HP Girls  Intervention to stop land ecosystem degradation;

Land degradation affects large areas and many people in the northern regions of Ghana. Increased population pressures and excessive human expansion into northern region for farming during long wet periods leave an increasing number of people stranded there during dry periods as their alternative business that continuing degrading the farm lands and deforestation for economic income. The transfer of critical agriculture production elements to other uses therefore reducing  dry season irrigation farming, e.g the use of water for industrial and urban purposes at the expense of rural agricultural producers break links in traditional production chains in dry season. This changes lead to the breakdown of the entire production systems. The removal of the protective cover to reduce competition for water and nutrients, ploughing, heavy grazing and deforestation all leave the soil highly vulnerable to wind erosion particularly during severe weather .The  HP Girls will develop an improved framework for land resources development and management that addresses the evolving nature of integrated land management to ensure development of policies which will result in the best use and sustainable management of land and environment; improvement and strengthening of planning, management, monitoring and evaluation systems; strengthening of institutions, capacity education in  reducing carbon emissions from organizations and communities, particularly through clean energy; Helping communities adapt and build resilience to impacts of climate change such as extreme weather;  Creating goods that are renewable, repairable, reusable, and recyclable; Promoting access to sustainable and resilient food and water sources for rural and/or urban communities;

  The  HP Girls will establish biodiversity conservation and coordinating management mechanisms team to facilitate the active involvement and participation of communities and people at local level for reclaiming the degraded land and resilient  for increasing productivity and many other potential environmental, social, economic and non-material benefits that are critical for society and development. The HP Girls intervention campaigns will contribute to efficiency of soil fertility resulting high productivity and food security. The farmers will be advised to  adapt the use of high-yielding variety seeds that  significantly increased in yields, since these varieties are depend on high soil nutrients and climate friendly for high production.
