A SEED TO SPOON AGRITOURISM TRAIL IN GHANA'S VOLTA REGION
ABOUT
Who is This Tour For?
Taste Ghana Agritourism Trail is designed for individuals of all ages interested in cultural immersion and learning through experience.
We particularly welcome visitors who are curious about how food arrives on their plates: where it comes from, how it is made and who makes it. Adventurous visitors willing to step out of their sensory comfort zone and experience new tastes, smells and textures are particularly suited for this program.
This agritourism trail is also for people interested in learning and getting involved with sustainable local agricultural practices, forest conservation, regenerative agriculture, and food sovereignty in Ghana.
