Report With funding from the RUB Research School Plus in February and March 2018, I travelled to Ghana for field work on urban agriculture and food sovereignty. I conducted in depth interviews with urban food producers in Accra and representatives of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture as well as organisations supporting urban agriculture and advocating food sovereignty. In addition, I learned more about farmers’ challenges in land and water access from hands-on experiences in the field.
