About BfD Ghana
Reducing poverty and reverse biodiversity loss by supporting sustainable and inclusive development of the Ghanaian beekeeping sector.
We train beekeepers and help them to market their products reliably and profitably. We strengthen farmers’ livelihoods, through improved pollination and additional revenue streams. We enable children in basic schools to learn about honey bees and how they too can benefit from keeping them.
Our Mission
To lift people out of poverty and to support healthy agricultural and natural landscapes through sustainable beekeeping.
Our Vision
We envision a country where sustainable beekeeping enhances people’s well-being and incentivises people to care for nature.
Our Story
Starting in 2015, we have pioneered the integration of beekeeping on cashew and citrus farms, school buzz clubs and digital honey traceability systems
What we do
We specialise in unlocking the potential for beekeeping to reduce poverty sustainably, while preserving and restoring forests and agro-biodiversity
Beekeeper Training
Making beekeeping accessible for the poorest and most marginalised groups, mentoring people to develop skills that will change their lives.
Research
Supporting practical, scientific research led by farmers and beekeepers to meet their own needs.
Pollination
Keeping bees on farms can improve yields and income. We assist farmers in harnessing the benefits of bees.
Market access
Helping beekeepers organise to achieve quality control and traceability, we kickstart supply chains that deliver the best honey and beeswax at scale.
