Ghana: Land Grab and Food Security


In recent times, the dire need for environmentally friendly means of energy has clouded the minds of many to the simple safety of humanity. It'll be the African who'll suffer from these business practices of allowing the rich to plunder
the poor. Whiles, many are starving from lack of food in Africa, others are more concerned about Biofuel. Economically its wise to sell off your less than 1000cedis a month farm for Biofuel if you'll earn more. One can easily use his profit to buy imported food and also make a good living for him/herself. The decision-maker who already buys from the Accra-Mall will not be hurt. Again,its the poor ones with no access to roads to travel the length of the country who'll be left to the harsh seasons.

After reading food security, one will come to conclude the need for urgent land-reform. Its not enough for the country to take on a rice culture   whiles unable to produce the commodity on its own. We're creating a dangerous society.
