Mutaru Mumuni Muqthar, the Executive Director of the West Africa Center for Counter Extremism, said Ghana is missing a major chance. He stated that the country should use water from Burkina Faso's Bagré Dam for irrigation.
Mr. Muqthar explained that this approach could greatly improve tomato production within Ghana. Utilizing the dam's water for farming would benefit local agriculture.
The expert highlighted the importance of this resource. He believes it is a key factor in strengthening local food systems.
Ghana shares borders with Burkina Faso, making water resource management a vital regional issue. Secure food supply is also linked to regional stability.
The call for better water use follows discussions on regional challenges. Better agricultural practices can help Ghana meet its food needs.
