Building smallholder farmers’ resilience under climate change through agroforestry practice in the northern savanna of Ghana
Agroforestry has the potential to sustainably improve agriculture by enhancing land productivity to support the livelihood of smallholder farmers. However, the ability of agroforestry to facilitate coping ability of local communities toward climate-related risk and hazards is insufficiently understood. This study examined the ability of smallholder farmers’ to build resilience under climate change through agroforestry. Using a mixed-method approa…
Perceptions of Climate Change, Meteorological Trends and Implications for Smallholder Cashew Farming in Ghana
Agricultural systems face significant threats from climate change due to their high sensitivity to expected risks. While discussions about the impacts of climate change on food security, especially food crop production, are inconclusive, less attention has been given to cash crop production, which greatly contributes to the local economies of producing countries. Adapting agriculture to climate risks benefits from analysing trends and perceptions…
The effects of flood disasters on urban farmers in Ghana
Psychosocial factors influencing coping strategies for climate change-related mental health impacts in Northwest Ghana
Advancing agricultural diversification within rural regions
Sustaining the livelihood of women migrant head porters in Kumasi, Ghana
We live in fear and face endless physical and emotional health problems
Urban flooding significantly affects the health and well-being of populations, yet its health impacts remain underexplored in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This paper investigates the health effects of recurring floods on households in Greater Kumasi through a qualitative study involving 55 purposively selected household heads. The findings reveal substantial negative health consequences, including immediate and medium-term issues such as i…
Carbon stock potential of preferred woody species for agroforestry in West African Savannah
Agroforestry is a land management strategy with high potential for carbon sequestration. However, the high carbon sequestration potential for agroforestry is still doubtful in many developing countries. This study investigates smallholder farmers’ preferred woody species for agroforestry and their carbon stock potential in West African Savannah. A sample of 345 smallholder farmers was selected across the four area councils within the Nandom Munic…
Understanding drought risk management in vulnerable communities in dryland farming systems
Understanding non-economic loss and damage due to climate change in Ghana
The concept of non-economic loss and damage (NELD) of climate change has emerged strongly in the international policy arena in the past few years. Nonetheless, while research on climate-induced loss has focused on the economic dimension, the non-economic aspects have often been side-lined in academic research and policy debate. This paper draws on in-depth interviews and a focus group with farmers to develop a comprehensive understanding of clima…
Exploring sustainable development within rural regions in Ghana
Sustainable development involves multi‐level, multi‐actor and multi‐faceted processes and interrelations for which, ideally, comprehensive theoretical frameworks are required to understand the nature, dynamics and heterogeneity of changes generating greater sustainability in rural areas. Studies have utilised the rural web framework to explain these processes and interactions, but its application is lacking in sub‐Saharan Africa. This study addre…
Role of social capital in agricultural diversification
Studies have explored social capital (SC) in diverse ways. Still, little is known in the literature about how its functional areas, including bonding, bridging and linking relationships, interact to facilitate sustainable development, particularly in agricultural diversification. We address this gap by using the rural web and the social capital frameworks to (1) analyse factors influencing SC and (2) assess the relationship between SC and agricul…
Farmers’ perceptions of severe climate risks and adaptation interventions in indigenous communities in northern Ghana
Integrating local perceptions with scientific evidence to understand climate change variability in northern Ghana
Problematizing Indigeneity in sub-Saharan Africa
Urban sprawl and green space depletion
New Wine in Old Wine Skin’
The article examines public perceptions of capitation payment system and the implications for health-seeking behavior in rural and urban Ghana. Drawing on qualitative approach, the study employed focus groups (n = 20), in-depth (n = 20), and key informant (n = 14) interviews with community-based adult men and women, aged 18–65 years in Ashanti Region. Tape recorded interviews were transcribed and analyzed thematically. Results indicated that majo…
