President John Dramani Mahama on Saturday launched the Feed Ghana Programme (FGP) to make the country food secure and create sustainable jobs in the agriculture value chain.
Under the broader Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda, the FGP is the strategic umbrella initiative under which all agricultural projects and interventions of the government would be executed.
Anchored around nine thematic areas, the FGP targets strategies to increase food production, promote modernised farming practices, strengthen infrastructure, and create agro-industrial zones across the country.
