Training and Extension for Conversation Agriculture in Savannahs (TECAS) is a social enterprise with the mission to promote the adoption of conservation agriculture (CA) in North-West Ghana, as a strategy to reverse the trend of declining soil fertility and to build resilience against climate change.
CA is comprised of multiple management practices and technologies that have the capability to conserve healthy soils, restore nutrient depleted land for arable use and increase productivity of food and crops in difficult climates.
TECAS partners with diverse stakeholders including farmers, international NGOs, industry and government agencies. These partnerships build a network of local farmers and expand TECAS's reach to replicate its model globally.
We have expanded to four locations in several regions around Ghana. Scroll down to see map of these locations.
