AFSI focuses on science-based regulatory frameworks including those for harmonization and convergence of maximum pesticide residue levels (MRLs), food safety, and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standards.

TEDMAG

Technical Education Development for Modernizing Agriculture in Ghana (TEDMAG)

The aim of the TEDMAG project is to reorient agriculture education and training towards an agri-business market-oriented system that will equip extension delivery services with skills to support farmers to transform from subsistence to income earning enterprises. There’s a two-pronged approach being adopted to achieve the objectives under TEDMAG.

The first component comprises 3 subcomponents which include a review of the curricula, an upgrade of technical and computer laboratories and the rehabilitation of Ejura mechanization workshop. And the second component involves a re-orientation of current techniques being used by extension delivery agents to enable them to support farmers to move from subsistence farming into market-oriented agriculture
