  • Land tenure, information sources and climate variability adaptation strategies

    Open AccessDaniel Adu Ankrah, Seth Dankyi Boateng et al.ARTICLERural Society2024References: 4

    This article makes two central arguments to advance inconclusive literature in relevant extant research related to agriculture adaptation and climate change in the global south. First, it argues a relationship exists between land tenure and climate variability adaptation strategies. Second, it argues climate information sources influence climate variability adaptation strategies. Drawing on 150 smallholder farmers in southern Ghana, using a mixed…

  • Choice and Intensity of Climate Variability Adaptation Strategies

    Open AccessDaniel Adu Ankrah, Charles Yaw Okyere et al.ARTICLEGeographical Review2024Cited by: 1References: 84

    Embedded in a quantitative approach focused on smallholder maize farmers in southern Ghana, this article addresses the dual questions of what climate variability strategies remain adopted? And what is the intensity of adoption as well as the factors that influence the choice and intensity of adaptation strategies? The related literature presents mixed conclusions. Even more compelling is an understanding of how our research questions intersect wi…

  • Understanding innovation process within an interactive social network

    Open AccessNana Afranaa Kwapong, Daniel Adu AnkrahARTICLECogent Social Sciences2023

    Agricultural innovations propel improvement in agricultural productivity. Even though, the related literature largely reports low adoption of innovations, the literature deficiently accounts for the complexities and the interactive social contexts that embed innovation processes. In addressing the lacuna, it remains imperative to understand the complexities of the innovation process. This study assesses the factors influencing the intricate innov…

  • Covid-19 and Ghana’s agri-food system

    Andrew Agyei‐holme, Daniel Adu Ankrah et al.ARTICLEAfrican Geographical Review2023

    Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) intertwined with a food security resilience framework was used to understand Ghana's agricultural food system resilience to COVID-19 from a production perspective using a qualitative approach. Agricultural production remained fairly resilient but plagued with labor mobility challenges that delayed production. Specific results showed self-sufficiency in the production of roots and tubers, defic…

  • Participatory farm budgeting – A case of pineapple farmers in ghana

    Daniel Adu Ankrah, Andrew Agyei‐holme et al.ARTICLEAfrican Geographical Review2022

    This article articulates the usefulness of a participatory farm budget in addressing challenges associated with the recall of agricultural prices, inputs, outputs, and estimate biases in the global south. The study is foregrounded in a qualitative paradigm. Participatory farm budgeting is a method that permits stakeholders to analyze, quantify input, output resources, and farm profit. The method highlighted higher economic returns associated with…

  • Ghana's rice value chain resilience in the context of Covid-19

    Open AccessDaniel Adu Ankrah, Andrew Agyei‐holme et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences & Humanities Open2021

    The 2020 State of the Food Security and Nutrition World report suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic may render 83 to 132 million people food insecure. The global south has been projected to be adversely affected by COVID-19 in terms of food and nutritional security. This potentially renders Africa off track in achieving SDG -2 of zero hunger by 2030. Ghana is a net importer of rice and how the sector responded to the global pandemic has received l…

  • The gender and geography of agricultural commercialisation

    Fred Mawunyo Dzanku, Dzodzi Tsikata et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Peasant Studies2021Cited by: 8References: 34

    Using a comparative mixed methods approach involving two districts each in Southern and Northern Ghana, this article addresses the question: under what conditions, and at what scale does smallholder agricultural commercialisation promote or hinder food security? Specifically, it presents an analysis of how gender and spatial inequalities in resource control determine differential capacities to commercialise and the implications of agricultural co…

  • Assessment of Agricultural Advisory Messages from Farmer-to-Farmer in Making a Case for Scaling Up Production

    Open AccessNana Afranaa Kwapong, Daniel Adu Ankrah et al.ARTICLEQualitative Report2020References: 9

    Inadequate access to agricultural extension services often results in poor farm practices, affecting yields and subsequently the income and wellbeing of smallholder farmers. Given the high demand for agricultural information and the limited capacity of extension services, a farmer-to-farmer extension approach has been explored by many underserved farmers. In this study, we use a qualitative case study approach explore how cassava farmers who had …
