Responsible scaling for sustainable intensification
Despite efforts to promote Sustainable Intensification (SI) in northern Ghana, adoption remains uneven due to interacting constraints such as farm-level constraints, limited resources, lack of institutional support, and land tenure issues, which influence farmers’ willingness and ability to engage in SI. The paper assesses how different land tenure modes are locally understood and experienced within the different pathways of use rights that farme…
Mediation and moderation roles of resilience capacity in the shock–food-security nexus in northern Ghana
Stimulating Innovations for Sustainable Agricultural Practices among Smallholder Farmers
As part of the dissemination of sustainable intensification (SI) of agricultural practices in northern Ghana, farmers were conditionally induced with inputs to adopt the SI practices. We study the effects of the conditional inducement on maize yield and net income of farmers under a quasi-randomised phase-out design. We examine the effects of the inducement by comparing continuous induced farmers with past induced and non-induced farmers. Our res…
Smallholder farmers’ preferences for sustainable intensification attributes in maize production
While sustainable intensification has been aggressively promoted as an agricultural development strategy among smallholder farmers since the beginning of the last decade, there is a dearth of evidence on whether farmers are interested in practicing it and how much value they put to its different components. This study aims at analyzing farmers’ preferences for maize production technologies within the lens of sustainable intensification. Employing…
To diversify or not to diversify, that is the question. Pursuing agricultural development for smallholder farmers in marginal areas of Ghana
Many smallholder farmers in developing countries grow multiple crop species on their farms, maintaining de facto crop diversity. Rarely do agricultural development strategies consider this crop diversity as an entry point for fostering agricultural innovation. This paper presents a case study, from an agricultural research-for-development project in northern Ghana, which examines the relationship between crop diversity and self-consumption of foo…
