Inside Ghana’s Farm.io, where greenhouses shield farmers from climate shocks
- Ghana loses $1.9 billion annually due to post-harvest losses affecting farmers' productivity.
- Farm.io Limited was launched in 2020 to provide climate-smart greenhouses and support for farmers.
- Farm.io's greenhouses can increase productivity up to five times compared to traditional farming methods.
The innovative approach taken by Farm.io to integrate technology with agriculture presents a promising solution to the challenges faced by Ghanaian farmers. However, scaling such initiatives will require addressing logistical challenges and ensuring sustainable financing options for farmers. Further discussion could explore how similar models can be adapted in other regions facing agricultural challenges.
