GCG - Mission of the project

Every project must have a mission, a goal to achieve. For HortiTerra the mission is as follows; implement modern agricutural techniques in Ghana and inspire smallholder farmers to use them.

To achieve this mission, a design of the greenhouse and a business plan for the greenhouse will be made. The greenhouse must be affordable for local farmers and therefore not as expensive as the existing greenhouses. The greenhouse also has to be an example for farmers, so they can see the benefits of using a greenhouse. Therefore the greenhouse must become a healthy business. Growing in a greenhouse is pretty different from growing the old-fashioned way. Besides showing the benefits, interested youth will also be given a chance to learn how to work in a greenhouse. There will be an educational centre for future greenhouse employees and entrepreneurs. Because the greenhouse will be affordable for starting entrepreneurs, more farmers will use greenhouses to improve their production and quality of vegetables.
