Member of Parliament for Zebilla, Ebenezer Alumire Ndebilla has has urged government and stakeholders in agriculture to adopt climate-resilient strategies to safeguard food production, especially in Northern Ghana.
In an exclusive interview on Channel One Newsroom, he reiterated his concerns over the growing threat of climate change, particularly erratic rainfall patterns that are disrupting crop cycles and threatening food security.
According to him, the unpredictability of rainfall has made traditional farming methods unreliable, and urgent steps must be taken to mitigate the risks.
He emphasised the need for adaptive measures such as irrigation systems to support farmers during the dry season, adding that northern Ghana plays a vital role in the country's food supply. "A crop that takes three months to mature, you produce it, and because the rains have been delayed and you are starting it late, then two months later the rains stop and you are in trouble.
