Ghana is losing its special homegrown crops and plant types. This is happening because of changes in the climate and growth of cities.
The way people prefer to eat is also changing. These factors are putting the country's unique farm plants in danger.
Dr. Daniel Ashie Kotey, who leads the CSIR-Plant Genetic Resources Research Institute, has raised this alarm.
He stated that this loss is a big worry for how well Ghana can feed itself in the future.
Losing these crops means losing valuable food sources that are suited to Ghana's environment.
These traditional plants often have unique nutritional benefits and resilience.
Their disappearance could make farming less stable and impact rural livelihoods.
The institute is working to protect and save these important plant resources for future generations.
