Samenvatting

The study assessed the perceptions of smallholder farmers in the Chereponi District of the North-East Region of Ghana on the Planting for Food and Job Programme in the District. PFJ forms part of the Modernizing Agriculture in Ghana (MAG) agenda, which supports governments efforts to decelerate the declining growth of the agriculture sector over the past 8 years, with the aim of motivating smallholder farmers to adopt high yielding, climate-resilient certified seeds and fertiliser combined with effective agricultural extension delivery to increase farm productivity and a private sector-led marketing framework over an E-Agriculture platform.
