You can work as an agricultural, irrigation, machinery, post-harvest or farm systems engineer in Ghana’s public and private agriculture sectors. Potential employers include the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, commercial farms, agro-processors, irrigation projects, machinery suppliers, research bodies, NGOs and international food-security programmes.
Who this programme may suit
You thrive if you like combining machines, science and agriculture to solve real problems. Practical curiosity, numerical ability, resilience in field conditions and concern for food security will serve you well.
