The Centre for Women and Food Security-Ghana is a dynamic organization focused on advancing agricultural development and food security in Ghana, with an emphasis on empowering smallholder farmers, particularly women and resource-deficient communities. The organization creates innovative solutions to address climate change, food insecurity, and economic disparity. We promote gender equity, enabling women to lead in sustainable farming practices through capacity-building initiatives. It prioritizes environmental restoration and biodiversity conservation, ensuring the sustainability of natural resources. By combining agricultural development, gender-sensitive interventions, and climate resilience, foster thriving communities, enhanced food security, and environmental preservation for future generations.
