Compliance with meat Safety Guidelines Among Butchers and Fresh meat Retailers in Ghana
Unequal fields
Persistent gender inequalities in access to agricultural resources undermine inclusive development in Ghana. This study advances the literature by shifting the unit of analysis from household heads to individual farm operators and by integrating Economic Constraint Theory, Intersectionality, Feminist Political Ecology, the Matthew Effect, and Inclusive Development into a unified explanatory framework. Using a concurrent triangulation mixed-method…
Contribution of sustainable and integrated rural development programmes to personal and professional growth
To better the livelihood of society and ensure sustainability of natural resources for future use in our rural communities, it is important to implement sustainable development projects. To get manpower with the requisite skills to champion these activities for both government and private organizations, there is the need for rolling up programmes in sustainable development in tertiary institutions. The graduate programme in Sustainable and Integr…
Modelling the Record Keeping Behaviour of Cocoa Farmers in Ghana
This study models the record-keeping behaviour of cocoa farmers in order to stimulate well-informed education and sensitization of the practice among cocoa farmers. The paper uses cross-sectional primary data collected from 400 cocoa farmers in Ghana. Descriptive statistics, a triple hurdle econometric strategy, and Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance were the methods of analysis. The findings reveal that the majority of the cocoa farmers keep f…
Factors influencing the shift from cocoa to rubber production in Wasa Amenfi Central District in the Western region of Ghana
Unlocking sustainable partnerships
Purpose This study examined the factors influencing oil palm farmers’ decisions to engage in contract farming as well as their extent of participation. Design/methodology/approach The study used cross-sectional data collected from 210 oil palm producers in the western region of Ghana. Descriptive statistics and Cragg’s double hurdle model were the methods of analysis. Findings The results showed that household size, membership of farmer associati…
Consumption patterns of organic vegetable consumers in Ghana
The study examined organic vegetable attributes, consumer decisions and consumption patterns of consumers in Ghana. A sample of 399 consumers was selected using a simple random sampling technique and data was collected through structured questionnaires. The study analyzed the important attributes of organic vegetables using Kendall's coefficient of concordance. The factors influencing consumers' decision to consume organic vegetables and the prop…
Assessment of impacts of adoption of improved sweetpotato varieties in Ghana
New agricultural technologies, such as high yielding varieties and improved agronomic practices could significantly increase agricultural productivity leading to improved welfare of those who participate in them. Feedback effects on adoption of agricultural technologies in low-income countries are important in prioritization of funding to the agricultural sector. Through a multistage randomized sample of 526 farmers and employing propensity score…
Impact of credit constraints on adoption of biofortified food crop among farming households in Nigeria
The prevalence of credit constraints has a significant effect on the adoption of biofortified cassava; hence, low productivity on farms. This research, therefore, investigates the effect of credit constraints on the adoption of biofortified cassava (BC) among farming households. A multistage sampling procedure is employed to select 300 cassava farming households for this study. Data is analyzed using descriptive statistics, seemingly unrelated re…
A gender differential analysis of determinants of pesticide application in cocoa system farming of Ghana
Achieving inclusivity requires a critical focus on gender responsiveness and holistic growth in the cocoa industry. Conducting a gender-differentiated analysis is essential in determining men and women cocoa farmers’ knowledge, attitudes, practices and aspirations, therefore, it is crucial to develop policies that are sensitive to gender considerations. The study presents useful information on this subject from Ghana for stakeholders in the cocoa…
Does the level of development distinguish the impacts of foreign direct investment on the stages of human development
This paper assessed the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the stages of human development (HD) using panel data from 87 developing, 13 transition and 34 developed countries from 1990 to 2019. Foreign direct investment positively influenced human development in developing countries. However, the effect was neutral for transition and developed countries. Regarding the effect of FDI on the stages of HD, except for low human development in…
Effect of hybrid cocoa seedlings adoption on profit efficiency in Ghana
The study examined the effect of hybrid cocoa seedling adoption on the profit efficiency of cocoa production in Ghana using cross-sectional data collected from 150 farming households in the Wassa Amenfi West district of Ghana. Cragg's Double Hurdle model, stochastic frontier profit function and propensity score matching were the methods of analysis. The results showed that whereas tree density and age of farm had negative influences on hybrid coc…
