Green gardens for greener lives
Despite the growing discourse on sustainable development, the potential of climate-smart agriculture to transform agri-food systems, alleviate poverty, and reduce hunger framed in the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030 in Africa remains underexplored. Specifically, the influence of home gardening as a climate-smart agriculture practice on household food security and quality of life has not been adequately investigated. This paper aims to b…
Who Manages Better? Gendered Perspectives on Food Security and Subjective Wellbeing in Ghana
In Africa, the pursuit of food security and subjective wellbeing among farming households is not only shaped by access to resources, but by deeply embedded gender dynamics that necessitate greater policy and research attention. Yet, evidence on gender disparities in household wellbeing remains limited, creating a critical gap in understanding how gender shapes outcomes across agricultural systems. This study addresses this gap by examining gender…
Cultivating a thriving agricultural sector
Participation in agricultural development interventions has not been encouraging among smallholder farmers in developing countries. However, agricultural productivity has been low and characterized by a lack of access to improved production technologies and agricultural services. Using a random sample of 477 maize farmers, this paper examines the drivers of participation in an integrated delivery model of the smallholder inclusive productivity an…
Does the choice of multiple agricultural labour packages influence farm productivity and food (in)-security? Evidence from lowland rice farmers in southern Ghana
Access to dry season community water resources and children's school attendance and work
Agricultural services and rural household welfare
Purpose This paper aimed to examine the impacts of agricultural services on welfare of rural farmers in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach Using data from 1431 rural maize farmers, we employ multinomial endogenous switching regression and multivalued inverse probability weighted regression adjustment to assess the impacts. Findings Results show that 19.8%, 9.7% and 3.42% of farmers adopted solely irrigation, extension and mechanization, respectiv…
Drivers of integrated crop–livestock farming system’s efficiency for smallholder farmers in the forest-savanna transition agro-ecological zone of Ghana
Awareness and adoption of positive selection technology among yam farmers in West Africa
Purpose This paper aims to investigate how awareness influences the adoption of positive selection (PS) technology among smallholder yam farmers in West Africa. PS has the potential of increasing yield and reducing disease incidence and severity in yam production. Design/methodology/approach This paper applies the average treatment effect (ATE) methodology to estimate the rates of awareness and adoption of the PS technology and associated factors…
Adoption of integrated crop-livestock management practices (ICLMPs) among men and women smallholder farmers in Ghana
Integrated crop-livestock management practices (ICLMPs) play a vital role in ensuring food security and improved welfare for smallholder households, however, studies that focus on ICLMP adoption in Ghana (including its gender dimension) remain scant. This paper examines gender differences in the drivers and intensity of ICLMP adoption using farm-level data from 638 smallholder farmers in Ghana. Employing Multivariate Probit, Tobit regression mode…
