The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Representative to Ghana, Dr Meshack Oguna Malo, has called for greater innovation and the use of science, technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) to transform Ghana's agriculture and food systems. At a press briefing on World Food Day, Dr Malo highlighted how simple innovations, such as a rabbit farmer using technology to track rabbit pregnancies, can have a significant impact on production and productivity.
Dr Malo emphasized the need for stronger collaboration with the media and urged the FAO to work with partners under the "Innovate Today, Nourish Tomorrow" initiative to identify areas where technology can create solutions. Additionally, Dr Grace Forson of the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research highlighted the issue of malnutrition in Ghana, stating that it costs about 6.4% of the country's GDP annually and requires coordinated action across various sectors.
