Day One

Early this morning we all pile onto a small plane and after a bumpy landing we find ourselves in what feels like a different world ­ or perhaps a different century. Dry, red earth; traditional villages with their circles of huts; and vast open spaces dotted with only the occasional tree.

We're taken to an inaugural meeting of the Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana. These farmers have traveled from all over the country in order to tell their stories, and they talk movingly, passionately about their suffering.

Afterwards, we go to Tamale's busy market to see the sacks of American, Thai and Vietnamese rice for sale. Nesh, a local farmer, explains that in neighbouring Nigeria, you can only buy local rice in the markets because the government stops cheap foreign rice coming in. "That makes sense," says Chris. "It supports their own farmers. Just as the UK does - we would never let anyone come in and destroy our farmers."

Day 2: Visiting Zugu village
