  • Urban transition and environmental risks in overlooked small and medium-sized towns

    Seth Asare Okyere, Louis Kusi Frimpong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Environmental Planning…2026

    In many global south cities, the gradual declines in growth rates in large urban centers and capital cities are being countered by the rapid growth and expansion of small and medium-sized towns. Yet, urban sustainability research is heavily centered on the so-called megacities of the global south, overlooking the emergence of small and medium-sized towns at the confluence of urban transition and sustainability dynamics. Drawing on the case of Som…

  • The role of intersectionality in shaping adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers in the Talensi district of Ghana

    Open AccessSeth Opoku Mensah, Brent Jacobs et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2025

    In the Talensi district of Ghana, smallholder farmers adapt to climate change—including variability, extreme weather events, and long-term temperature shifts—in varied and unequal ways. This study delves into the intersectional nature of this inequality. Specifically, it explores how the socio-demographics of these smallholder farmers intersect with their livelihood capitals, shaping their capacity for climate adaptation. Drawing from a systemati…

    This paper combines theoretical insights from vulnerability literature and interpretive paradigm using a qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions to examine smallholder farmers’ climate perception, adaptation strategies, and challenges under the rural enterprise programme interventions in the Kintampo South district of Ghana. The farmers reported rainfall variability and rising temperatures as their ke…

  • Benefits of farmer managed natural regeneration to food security in semi-arid Ghana

    Open AccessSeth Opoku Mensah, Suglo-Konbo Ibrahim et al.ARTICLEAgriculture and Human Values2024Cited by: 1References: 5

    Promoting Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) aims to increase the productive capacities of farmer households. Under FMNR, farmers select and manage natural regeneration on farmlands and keep them under production. While FMNR contributes to the wealth of farming communities, its contribution to household food security has rarely been researched. We, therefore, used a mixed-methods approach to address the research gap by measuring FMNR’s co…
