Description
🌍 The gap between Africa’s agricultural potential and its agricultural reality is not a mystery. It is a choice — made again and again by governments, institutions, and investors who treat farming as a subsidy rather than a strategy. From Fields to Fortunes is the book that names that choice — and shows what the alternative looks like.
Dr. Godwin Kojo Ayenor has spent over 30 years at the intersection of field practice and policy design — advising the World Bank, USAID, FAO, GIZ, UNDP, the ILO, and the European Union on agricultural systems across Ghana and Sub-Saharan Africa. He has watched well-intentioned programmes fail for the same reasons, decade after decade. This book is his diagnosis — and his blueprint.
