Talking climate, growing change
Climate change poses significant challenges to smallholder agriculture in Ghana, threatening food security and rural livelihoods. Effective communication of climate-resilient agricultural practices is therefore critical to enhance farmers’ adaptive capacity. Using a descriptive research design with a quantitative approach, the study investigated the relationship between communication pathways and the adoption of climate-resilient agricultural pra…
Connecting the Dots
Amid growing climate variability, effective communication strategies are vital in shaping how smallholder farmers in Bongo District adopt climate-resilient agricultural practices and respond to environmental challenges. We collected data from 133 smallholder maize farmers selected using multi-stage sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the quantitative data. Our results show local champions (57%), community durbars…
Forestry-based carbon financing mechanisms and their role in advancing sustainable forest management
Scaling forestry-based carbon financing mechanisms is crucial for sustainable forest management. • A PRISMA-guided systematic review of peer-reviewed literature on carbon financing mechanisms in forestry. • REDD+, voluntary carbon markets, and PES have varying outcomes in different regions. • Insecure land tenure and governance issues limit the effectiveness of carbon finance. • Need stronger governance and equitable benefit distribution for long…
Harnessing climate information service use for cocoa farming sustainability in Ghana
Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural sectors worldwide, including the cocoa industry, which is highly vulnerable to climate variability. Understanding how climate information services (CIS) can support cocoa farmers in adapting to these challenges is crucial for enhancing resilience and ensuring the sustainability of cocoa production. We employed a survey methodology that usedd a simple random sampling technique to select 4…
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…
Amplifying Voices for Climate Resilience
Climate change poses a significant threat to smallholder farmers, who are disproportionately affected due to their reliance on rain-fed agriculture and limited resources for adaptation. Farm radio programmes have emerged as a vital tool to offer an accessible and cost-effective means to deliver climate-related knowledge, crucial for building resilience. This study assesses how these programmes promote climate adaptation and mitigation strategies …
Household welfare outcomes of access to and use of agricultural radio broadcast by women cocoa farmers in Tepa district, Ghana
Ghanaian women play a significant part in the country's agricultural marketing, processing and production, yet the gender information gap is severe. This survey aimed to evaluate women's access to and use of agriculture radio broadcasts in the Ashanti Region's Tepa district, Ghana. A descriptive research design and quantitative research method were employed, with a sample size of 300 determined using Cochran's formula. The results indicate that w…
Why do cocoa farmers use unapproved pesticides? Empirical evidence from Obuasi Municipality, Ghana
To address the growing demand for increased crop yields while mitigating the adverse environmental impacts of agricultural practices, a comprehensive understanding of unapproved pesticide usage among cocoa farmers in Ghana is essential. This study employed a multi-stage sampling technique and administered questionnaires for 400 cocoa farmers. Data analysis encompassed a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics. Generally, the use of …
Employing agricultural extension delivery services for improving cocoa bean quality
Agricultural extension services are supposed to provide farmers with the know-how and abilities they need to boost productivity, and create premium cocoa beans. in this study, a sample of 384 farmers participated and data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics.the findings reveal that demonstration farms (72.92%) are very effective for disseminating innovations to cocoa farmers.Farmers believe that agricultural extension services pla…
Determinants and outcomes of participation in decision-making in cocoa farmer cooperatives
Who Does What? Analysing Gender Division of Labour in Cocoa Households in the Asante Akim North Municipality, Ghana
In a typical cocoa farming household, the question of who among the different genders does what needs to be assessed. This is because it is often thought that males do the majority of work in the household. In bringing balance to this argument, this study used the Caroline Moser framework to assess the gender division of labour in cocoa households in the Asante Akim North Municipality in Ghana. In using a mixed methods approach, questionnaires we…
Maize farmers’ response to crisis
The Fall Armyworm (FAW) is among the most devastating plant pests in terms of crop loss and economic impact. It was first reported in 2016 and has spread rapidly across the African continent, causing extensive damage to maize crops. With the importance of maize in food security and livelihoods, understanding effective communication channels is crucial. The study was designed to evaluate maize farmers’ communicative interventions in response to fa…
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…
