Concerned Farmers Union Launches “Operation Bare Lands” To Empower Youth

?The Concerned Farmers Association of Ghana has launched an initiative dubbed “Operation Bare Lands, aimed at empowering the Ghanaian youth and transforming the nation’s agricultural landscape.

The Union believes that access to land is the key to unlocking the potential of our youth hence the quest to access unused lands belonging to chiefs and government (state farm lands) for acquisition and distribution to young Ghanaians.

A statement issued by the President of ?Concerned Farmers Association of Ghana,

? Farmer General Nana Oboadie Boateng Bonsu II called on the President and the Minister of Agriculture to support efforts of the Union to put idle lands into productive use and creating a brighter future for our young people.

?The Concerned Farmers Union also called on all stakeholders, including traditional leaders, government agencies, and well-wishers, “to join us in the noble initiative to put lands into good use.”

He explained that “?Operation Bare Lands” is an integral part of the Back to the Village Campaign, aimed at revitalising rural communities and promoting agricultural development, adding “By bringing idle lands into production, we’re not only empowering youth, but also driving rural economic growth and food security.”

?According to Nana Boateng Bonsu, the initiative is a call to action for all Ghanaians to return to the land, reconnect with their roots and contribute to national development.

?Nana Boateng Bonsu said the goal of the group in this regard is to create a new generation of farmers, entrepreneurs and homeowners, who will drive the nation’s development and prosperity.

“By providing land and training, we will be  giving our youth the tools they need to thrive, reduce the scourge of drugs, stealing and robbery that plagues our communities, as well as create employment”, it was stated.

?He noted that the initiative aligns perfectly with the President’s Feed Ghana project for which reason the Farmer’s group urge the President to consider incorporating “Operation Bare Lands” into the flagship Feed Ghana programme towards the creation of “a food-secure, job-rich and crime-free Ghana”.
