Five Agric Colleges receive digital tools to drive climate-smart farming
Five colleges of agriculture in Ghana are witnessing a major transformation in teaching and learning with the introduction of digital technologies designed to prepare students for the changing demands of the agricultural sector.
The Korea International Cooperation Agency and the World Food Programme have partnered with Ghana's Ministry of Agriculture to equip five colleges of agriculture with digital tools aimed at preparing students for the changing demands of the agricultural sector. This initiative will provide students and instructors access to technologies designed for climate-smart farming, ensuring they are equipped with the skills to apply mechanization and digital technologies to improve productivity, efficiency, and resilience across agricultural value chains.
The package includes 60 moisture meters, 60 soil testers, 60 greenhouse environmental-control learning kits, 60 IoT sensor education kits, weather station starter kits, 60 GPS devices, agricultural spraying and drone-flight simulation systems, and agricultural data-processing software. These tools are intended to address Ghana's agricultural challenges, such as climate variability, declining productivity, pest and disease outbreaks, post-harvest losses, and limited access to timely information and markets.
