Agriculture minister has blamed the country's chronic drought situation on climate change, emphasizing that the root cause is not irrigation but altering weather patterns. Speaking with Joy News' PM Express Business Edition, he claimed the Ghana Meteorological Agency had warned the government that the planting season had shifted by an entire month, a key change that farmers were not informed about. "This shift in the planting season, which is a fundamental change caused by climate change, disrupted our agricultural planning," Acheampong stated. "We invested heavily in inputs, training, land development, seeds, and fertilizers, but with this change, all our efforts were compromised," the minister is quoted as saying by myjoyonline.com. The Abetifi MP stated that, while climate change cannot be avoided, efforts to protect Ghana's food systems must be implemented.
He mentioned irrigation as one such measure that allows for year-round agriculture without relying on rainfall.
