Heirloom Seed Agriculture Company in Ghana

12 June 2026. GFAiR's Collective Action on Forgotten Foods visited Call To Nature Ghana. 

Call To Nature Ghana is a pioneering Ghanaian social enterprise and permaculture organization dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture, heirloom seed conservation, environmental stewardship, and food security. 

Heirloom seed conservation is the practice of harvesting, drying, and safely storing seeds from open-pollinated plant varieties to prevent them from going extinct.

Founded by Solomon Amuzu, the organization operates on the permaculture principles of “Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share,” combining seed production, farmer training, ecological restoration, and community education. Today, it is recognized as
one of Africa’s leading heirloom seed producers and was named Best Heirloom Seed Agriculture Company in West Africa and Seed Exporter of the Year 2023. Through its work, Call To Nature supports farmers with access to locally adapted seeds and knowledge that strengthen climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable food systems.

The organization’s history dates back to Solomon Amuzu’s early engagement with farming at the age of 16. Motivated by concerns about the environmental impacts of conventional agriculture, he trained in permaculture and launched community initiatives focused on school gardens, tree planting, and ecological restoration. After further studies and practical experience in sustainable agriculture, he formally established Call To Nature with a vision of reconnecting people with nature and building resilient local food systems. Over the years, the organization has expanded from a grassroots permaculture initiative into a nationally and internationally recognized centre for heirloom seed production, farmer capacity development, and sustainable agriculture innovation in Ghana.

Sales figures for local market and for the export market

Ghana's seed market is expanding rapidly, driven by greater awareness of seed quality, climate-smart agriculture, government support programmes, and growing interest in nutritious and resilient crops. Industry forecasts estimate that the Ghana seed market will grow from about USD 125 million in 2026 to nearly USD 193 million by 2031, reflecting sustained growth in demand for improved and specialized seeds. In addition, market studies point to increasing consumer demand for healthy, locally produced foods and greater interest in indigenous crops, which is creating new opportunities for producers of heirloom and opportunity crop seeds.

The company's export positioning is particularly attractive to the U.S. market because it specializes in heirloom and rare seed varieties that are often difficult to source commercially. These include amaranths, African leafy vegetables, traditional legumes, butterfly peas, and other culturally significant crops. 

The growing interest in regenerative agriculture, biodiversity conservation, African heritage foods, and climate-resilient crops among U.S. consumers creates a niche but expanding market for such products. Call To Nature has also highlighted its status as a recognized seed exporter and participates in international seed and agribusiness exhibitions, where it markets its products globally.
