    With climate change and rising populations, we have to find more sustainable ways to farm our food. Are hydroponic greenhouses the key to farming's future? You can grow a variety of plants without ANY soil and 90% LESS water. It also requires 10x less space so you can do a lot more in a smaller area. That means easily growing fresh herbs, fruits, vegetables, and flowers both indoors and out. And because everything is grown and picked fresh, the flavor is unbelievable!
    This Ghanaian farmer has found a way to use greenhouses to grow beautiful tomatoes, capsicum or bell peppers and Mediterranean cucumbers. His greenhouses are located right here in Accra, Ghana.

    Great video! This guy is doing a great job. Growing your own food is power. It's amazing what we can do when we set our minds to it. When I have surplus tomatoes or food, I freezed it. I saved money that way. May God bless Ghana and Africa 🌍!

      Why religion in everything? God was not blessing him before? "Finally God bless him" God don't bless people who does not have a tangible endeavor for you to see. God does not bless unscrupulous people who has businesses? They are successful. What's with the religiousness. Is God not blessing the Ghana CD? My man African seem backward with the injection of religion in everything. Religion is no God. Inject God in every part of your life Not religion. Religion is construct created. God's laws are written in your heart. They are universal. They insert inner conviction when you attempt them. They come with consequences even if you pretend they did not happen.

    Very informative and educative interview. I was researching green house farms in Nigeria when I stumbled upon this video. Initially thought the video is too long by just looking at the timeline but once I started watching the video I couldn't stop. So much value and engaging too. A very intelligently conducted interview. Thanks Jasmine from Nigeria. I will be contacting him for mentorship

    Great vid. Good for Nii for starting up a hydroponic greenhouse farm. Indoor farming does have its flaws (soil is very important for plants) but I can see the potential and SSA countries need to up their game for growing and raising their food and becoming food sufficient and secure. I hope SSA countries promote the growth of their native domesticated crops (sorghum, yams, millet, cowpeas, etc) and domesticate new native species (grasscutters/greater can rats, African savanna hares, ostriches, etc).
