Story captured by Miriam Hird-Younger, as part of the series "Investing in Youth in Agriculture - Engineers Without Borders Canada (EWB) in Ghana." This Wednesday, this AgEx Venture Leader brings to us the success story of Emmanuel Akotia, a Ghanaian youth champion who led his fellow students through the pilot of the revamped Internal Attachment Program developed by EWB and Kwadaso Agricultural College.
The minute you meet Emmanuel Akotia, who usually goes by 'Emma', you’re struck by his confidence and friendly manner. He’s open and easy going. And if you’re talking about agriculture, Emma has a lot to share. His social media profile picture features him in boots, holding a cutlass, with the quote “I am proud to be a farmer”.
