The delegation from Ghana consisted of 23 representatives from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture and program managers at regional level.
The visitors under the umbrella of the Market-Oriented Agriculture Program (MOAP NW) of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) discussed 10th of February 2025 together with representatives of ZALF on science related to the most pressuring challenges in agriculture. Important topics were the energy supply at ZALF with particular reference to the new wood chip plant, which, according to Bettina Schoch-Liebe, can save up to 90% in emissions, as well as the new AGRI-PV system, which also serves research purposes. After a discussion on the ZALF test fields about agroecological management practices, the delegation was able to have a very lively discussion with the ZALF employees. Important topics discussed were research structure, dissemination of research results as well as crop production comparisons between Germany and Ghana with regard to climate adaptation measures.
