UCC Hosts Workshop on Regenerative Agriculture for Extension Officers

30 May, 2025 By DIS

The Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, in collaboration with the Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA), has held a three-day workshop on Regenerative Agriculture for Extension officers in Cape Coast. The event was under the theme: "Empowering Agricultural Extension Officers for Regenerative Agriculture in Ghana."

Chairing the opening ceremony, the Dean of the School of Agriculture, Prof. Henry D. Acquah, expressed his profound appreciation to the Sasakawa Africa Association for organising the workshop aimed at equipping extension officers with essential skills to enhance their effectiveness.

Prof. Acquah outlined the significance of the workshop, noting, “Regenerative Agriculture aims to create a self-sustaining system benefiting both farmers and the environment.”

He encouraged the participants to make the most of the learning opportunity and to apply the acquired knowledge in their fieldwork.

“We are change drivers, let us make the best out of the opportunity and go out there and implement the techniques learnt,” he emphasised.

The Country Director of the Sasakawa Africa Association, Dr. Godwin Atser, provided an overview of SAA’s operations across Africa and noted the importance of embracing regenerative agriculture practices. He pointed out that within the African context, regenerative agriculture primarily involves Integrated Soil Fertility Management and Conservation Agriculture.

“Extension needs to be rebranded to transform Agriculture in Africa,” Dr. Atser further remarked.

He also advocated for the adoption of digital tools and collaborative partnerships in the agricultural sector.

“Employ the use of digital tools in farming and engage in partnership because partnership is very key and we need to partner at all levels,” he declared.

In concluding his address, Dr. Atser stressed the need for data-driven approaches, stating that more evidence is needed to maximise the benefit of climate-smart and Regenerative Agriculture technologies, especially tapping the carbon market.

The Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, UCC, Prof. Martin Bosompem, reiterated the importance of continuously empowering agricultural extension officers in the country. He appealed to stakeholders to invest in the Supervised Enterprise Projects (SEPs) of BSc Agricultural Extension students to improve their productivity, research, and engagement with local communities.

UCC, CCMA deepen Partnership

28 May, 2025 By DIS

The University of Cape Coast (UCC) and the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly (CCMA) have committed to supporting the growth of the Cape Coast Metropolis.

The two entities also resolved to fight the growing sanitation challenges in the Metropolis.

This came to light when the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Mr. George Justice Arthur, led a delegation from the Assembly to introduce himself to the management of the University.

The CCMA team included the Coordinating Director, Mr. Asumah Adam Braimah, and other high-level office holders.

Mr. Arthur said the major challenge the Assembly was confronted with was poor sanitation and indicated that the Metropolis considered UCC as a strategic partner and key stakeholder in tackling the situation.

The MCE also said traffic lights found on the major routes in the metropolis were faulty and said UCC had developed traffic lights on campus and would like UCC to assist the Assembly with traffic lights to regulate vehicular traffic in the city.

Mr. Arthur announced that the Assembly was about to design an 8-year development plan to serve as a guide on how best the Metropolis would develop and called on UCC to offer its expertise in the development of the plan.

Speaking during the meeting, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, congratulated the new MCE on his appointment and subsequent unanimous confirmation by assembly members.

He said management of the University would work closely with the Assembly to improve on the sanitation issues in the Metropolis and said UCC, through its Science Workshop, could mould some rubbish bins for the Assembly.

On the 8-year development Plan, Prof. Boampong indicated that UCC would provide high-quality faculty to assist the Assembly to come out with the Plan.

The two sides also exchanged views on a number of issues of mutual interest.
