The Youth Support Podium has paid  a visit to the National Service Scheme Agriculture Project  located  on the  Tema–Aflao road  at  Dawhenya under the Ghana Irrigation Development Authority.  The 500 acres of land was leased to the NSS for the production of maize and vegetables in 2011 and   the scheme is  undertaking fish farming on the Dawhenya Lake with four cages currently holding 20,000 fingerlings of tilapia.  This visit was geared towards identifying and scouting for collaborative projects in the agric sector which would in turn create jobs and fuel capacity building in the agriculture.  A 200 acre land has been allocated  the Youth support Podium as part of the collaborative initiative  to introduce the  seed and seedlings bank project  in planting Noni Moringa, Bitter leavevs , Cinnamon and other myriad of seedlings as well.
