A project to improve the productivity, incomes and livelihoods of about 20,000 smallholder legume farmers in Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions has been launched.

The three-year project dubbed: “Enhancing Soil Health in Northern Ghana: Inoculants Production, Distribution and Utilization through Private-Public Partnership”, seeks to address low soil fertility, high cost of mineral nitrogen fertilizers, lack of production facility for rhizobium inoculants amongst others.

The $999,205 project, which ends in December 2016, is being implemented by the Savanna Agricultural Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR –SARI) based at Nyankpala, in the Northern Region, with sponsorship from the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).

Under the project, scientists at CSIR-SARI would disseminate the technologies in inoculants production to smallholder farmers and other stakeholders in the legumes industry in the three regions of the north.

Its benefits include increased private sector participation in inoculants production, commercialization of production and distribution of quality inoculants, increased access of smallholder farmers to quality inoculants and adoption of inoculants technology in legume production by local farmers.

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
