‎Hon. Anyetei urged young Ghanaians to embrace farming as a sustainable livelihood, encouraging them to move away from idleness and take advantage of available land within the municipality. He also commended Green Africa Youth Organization (GAYO) for its innovative solutions, calling for more organizations in Ghana to replicate such impactful initiatives.

‎

‎“There is more land available for farming in La, and I encourage the youth to take it seriously. Farming is a productive path for both personal growth and national development,” the MCE emphasized.

‎The Zero Waste Accra Project aims to divert as much organic waste as possible from landfills, dumpsites, and burning hotspots for composting. This initiative will not only abate methane and particulate matter emissions but also contribute to Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, while improving overall air quality.

‎

‎Additionally, the compost donation is expected to strengthen the local food chain, reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers, and promote healthier, more sustainable farming practices.

‎

‎Speaking on behalf of GAYO, Project Coordinator Mabel Laryea highlighted the broader impact of the project:
