From one tweet to a movement.

NextGen Farmers Co-operative Society Limited is rewriting the story of agriculture for the youth of Ghana. It began on Christmas Eve 2024 with a single tweet that resonated with hundreds. Today we are a vibrant network of like-minded people united by one vision: to make agriculture an appealing, sustainable, and profitable venture for Ghana's youth.

Hundreds replied. Within months those replies became a registered cooperative, 200+ members, and 70 acres of cassava in the ground at Afram Plains.
