Amoah, PhilipAdamtey, N.Cofie, Olufunke O.[Effect of urine, poultry manure, and dewatered faecal sludge on agronomic characteristics of cabbage in Accra, Ghana]Effect of urine, poultry manure, and dewatered faecal sludge on agronomic characteristics of cabbage in Accra, Ghana

This paper examined the gender analysis of land use for urban agriculture and sustainability of Livelihoods in Freetown, Sierra Leone. This is predicated on the fact that despite the stated contribution of urban agriculture (UA) to household food security, employment generation and poverty reduct...

Informal irrigation is receiving increasing attention in West Africa. In particular, irrigated urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) is thriving with significant benefits for farmers and the urban populations, though it is often handicapped by water pollution which threatens public health and pr...


Drechsel, PayCofie, Olufunke O.Veenhuizen, René vanLarbi, Theophilus Otchere[Linking research, capacity building, and policy dialogue in support of informal irrigation in urban West Africa]Linking research, capacity building, and policy dialogue in support of informal irrigation in urban West Africa

The chemical characteristics of two soil types, an Alfisol and an Ultisol, were studied in the humid tropical zone of southern Nigeria. The objective was to investigate the contribution of soil organic matter (SOM) to nutrient retention characteristics and identify those SOM pools that contribute...


Cofie, Olufunke O.Pleysier, J.[Ion exchange involving calcium-potasium (Ca-K) and calcium-magnesium (Ca-Mg) in soil and organic matter fractions]Ion exchange involving calcium-potasium (Ca-K) and calcium-magnesium (Ca-Mg) in soil and organic matter fractions

Gender roles in agriculture can be quite specific, not only in view of particular labor inputs during the production cycle but also in terms of who farms and who trades certain crops. Using data collected over ten years in West Africa, this study looked at market-oriented urban vegetable producti...

This paper presents findings of a land-use and land-cover (LULC) change mapping exercise conducted in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Nine LULC classes were mapped from multi-temporal Landsat data of 1974, 1986 and 2000. Special attention was given to the growth or otherwise of agricultural land in relat...

Cofie, Olufunke O.Agbottah, S.Strauss, M.Esseku, H.Montangero, A.Awuah, E.Kone, D.[Solid-liquid separation of faecal sludge using drying beds in Ghana: implications for nutrient recycling in urban agriculture]Solid-liquid separation of faecal sludge using drying beds in Ghana: implications for nutrient recycling in urban agriculture

Soil organic matter (SOM) has a key role in maintaining soil fertility in weathered soils in the tropics. This study was conducted to determine the contribution of different SOM fractions to the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of a tropical soil as influenced by organic matter inputs of different ...
