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…
Psychosocial factors influencing coping strategies for climate change-related mental health impacts in Northwest Ghana
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…
Incidence of water scarcity
Water scarcity has multiple negative repercussions for women across the world due to their gender role in sourcing and collecting water for household uses. While this is the case, the triggers of water scarcity and its implications for women’s non-agricultural livelihoods in the East and West Mamprusi municipalities of northern Ghana are poorly understood in the literature. Guided by the feminist political ecology approach, and drawing on a trian…
Contextual appraisal of large scale land investment and governance for equity and sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa
Socio-cultural beliefs on drought in Talensi Ghana
Responses of institutions and communities to environmental problems of water hyacinth invasion in Jomoro Municipality, Ghana
Water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes invasion of water bodies poses challenges to riparian communities. Biological, mechanical and chemical procedures are used to control their invasion of water bodies. In Ghana, the central government plays a major role in development, through the local and traditional authorities. This study highlights the customary and institutional roles in supporting people whose livelihood activities have been affected by th…
Rising incidence and risks of floods in urban Ghana
Women smallholder farmers off-farm adaptation strategies to climate variability in rural Savannah, Ghana
Climate policy research uptake dynamics for sustainable agricultural development in Sub-Saharan Africa
Arable and forest land user rent in a peri-urban district, Ghana
Land-use policies meant to mitigate deforestation activities in Ghana will have to consider the heterogeneity of the drivers of arable and forest land degradation. This would help avoid the one-size fits all approach to solving this problem. The urgency for this realisation is premised on the recent increasing monetary incentive to convert arable and forest land to other land uses in peri-urban Ghana. This study hypothesised that there is no sign…
