Everything starts from somewhere. Eg. If you carelessly stuck your wallet in your pocket and along the way it is stolen you will be careful the next time. So we learn from our mistakes. USA cut aid to Ghana. The government found a way to fill that gab. Things happen to open our eyes. If you have trying is not bad. If not you do with what you have or get.

Even if irrigation is used to produce tomatoes, it is still a good advice for those who can, to grow their own vegetables. It is healthy and economical at the same time.

We will.always wait and react to shocks. As soon as Burkina lofts the ban, we will abandon all new initiatives. Remember how hygiene and water supply took the centre stage during covid 19 on Ghana. Now we have a government cancelling sanitation and hygiene projects because there no epidemic scare.

Samy, during the late Acheampong's era accommodation in Accra was not as tough as today whereby kitchens are converted into single rooms. During those times there was enough space around people's backyards for that Operation Feed Yourself program. Politicians of today are too clueless.

As ndc supporter, our ndc demons madness incompetent greedy judas politicians think Ghanaians are fools so they can do whatever they want. Ndc always comes to power to destroy Ghana economy all because they don't know how to govern a nation period. We Ghanaians have made big mistake to bring ndc party back to power. Ndc judas demons madness incompetent politicians always comes out to speak nonsense. Ghanaians have lands where is the money. Because of your foolishness causing Ghana economy hardship. When Npp was in power Ghanaians didn't have problems with food. We ndc supporters must stop our partisan politics against Npp government and focus on a party who can develop Ghana economy for Ghanaians period. Ndc have nothing good for Ghanaians.
Ndc politicians policies are lies, propaganda, sabotage, greediness, Selfishness, wickedness, stupidity, foolishness, loot and share partisan politics. Ghanaians let us bring Npp back to power again in 2028.God bless Npp government for their good governance for Ghanaians during their time.

2- Assist the youth with funds to get into farming
3- encourage Govt- private partnership into growing tomotoes quickly
5- Community leaders should release lands for interested parties
6- the volta reg. & the northern reg. should be considered
7-Revive te existing Dams
8- Go after the contractor that run away with $12 million dollars etc...
9- don't go & negotiate any thing with the BF govt...that could be a disgrace
