Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Organizational Development (CIKOD)

The Center for Indigenous Knowledge and Organizational Development (CIKOD) in Ghana has established a network of more than 840 smallholder women and men farmers in the Upper West and Brong Ahafo Regions to further the practice of and respect for traditional agroecological knowledge in the food system. This approach means working with elders to deepen and expand intergenerational learning about local seed varieties, seed saving, and seed sharing, while aiming for a better understanding of African spirituality in food and farming, and the application of African spirituality led by traditional wisdom holders.
