How can we bring lasting prosperity, to all parts of rural Ghana - and boost our immune systems too?

How can we bring lasting prosperity, to all parts of rural Ghana - and boost our immune systems, on top, too, dear critical-reader?

One would have thought that with available global Covid pandemic science and data, showing  us clearly, the  importance of strong immune systems, as a factor in the ability to survive and recover from  viral infections,  the  conversion of all food production in Ghana within the shortest possible timeframe, to certified organic  farming agribusiness models, would have been considered a national  public health policy priority - and all the needed steps taken to execute such a  national food security and common-good wellness  green economy strategic plan, to boost the immune systems of all those who reside in Ghana. Hmman, ey3asem oooo, Ghanafuor.

Could we not bring lasting prosperity, to all parts of rural Ghana, dear critical-reader, if such a policy were to be implemented?

To do so, we must first end the power and impunity enjoyed by the purveyors of the  agrochemicals (whose oft-ecocidal and health-damaging products, are poisoning our nation's soils, groundwater,  river systems, and impacting biodiversity in food producing areas nationwide,  and drastically reducing the invaluable ecosystem services they render Ghanaian society), who prosper so mightily, in the process, even though they are weakening the immune systems, of tens of millions of  consumers, too, and imposing avoidable costs on our over-burdened public health sector, on top, too.

In light of that, the question a wise and aspirational African people ought to ponder over is: How can we end the baleful influence of the purveyors of agrochemicals - and break the vice-like grip they have on those who dominate and control our corruption-riddled byzantine system?   

The remedy to that unfortunate situation, is simply to ban the importation and local production of agrochemicals, and implement a new national policy, designed to convert all food production in Ghana, to a new 100 percent organic farming agribusiness model. Nothing short of that will do -  if we are to become and remain a healthy people with strong immune systems, to enable us survive coming furure viral infection pandemics.

What is tragic about this unfortunate situation, is that the African Development Bank Group  (AfDB), could sctually be persuaded to fund the building of giant factories to produce  Apostle Kojo Sarfo Kantanka's amazing and innovative growth mediums,  foliar fertilizers and bio-pesticides, as key imputs for local organic food production, and for exporting surpluses to the  African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA).

Organic agricultural produce, command premium prices in markets worldwide. We can boost our export sector's contribution to Ghana's GDP, improve our balance of payments metrics, and strengthen our worthless currency,  if the whole of our agricultural sector is converted to 100 percent organic  production.

And if the unique organic profit-sharing climate resilient smart farming agribusiness model, of our country's  beautiful and bountiful Western Region's B-BOVID Farms (founded by  Issa Ouedraogo, and its production underpinned by agroforestry principles to empower its value-chain's smallholder farmer-stakeholder communities, to enable them bootstrap their own way to financial independence),  is replicated across our nation, food production in Ghana can be transformed into a profitable 100 percent organic farming agribusiness model.

 
We could definitely bring lasting prosperity, to all parts of rural Ghana, as sure as day follows night, dear critical-reader, if such an innovative  policy were to be implemented nationwide, could  we not?
