LATDEV Project Continues to Progress in 2025
In 2025, the LATDEV project “Building Digital Education on Indigenous/Heritage Crops for the Resilience of African Food Systems in the Context of the Climate Crisis” continues to make significant strides in enhancing Ghanaian agriculture through digital education on indigenous crops. The focus has now shifted to the development of Module 2, which will provide tailored content on traditional crops and sustainable farming practices in Ghana’s northern regions.
Building on feedback from the first module, this new educational material will be recorded in local languages, ensuring accessibility for farmers with limited formal education.
In collaboration with local partners, including Farmerline, the project is also hosting workshops across various regions to distribute indigenous seeds to farmers. These workshops not only provide practical instructions on cultivation and storage but also gather valuable insights into traditional farming practices, which will be documented for future project development.
LATDEV’s work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly focusing on food security and climate resilience. By continuing collaboration with Farmerline and the Savannah Agricultural Institute, the project is successfully adapting agricultural best practices from Latvia to Ghana’s unique farming context.
