In Ghana, the diversity and density of non-cocoa trees in cocoa farms is primarily the result of farmers’ managing natural processes of regeneration in forest-fallow systems. Tree diversity is therefore more a result of haphazard, uncoordinated decisions over a long period rather than advanced pl...

Cocoa agroforestry is perceived as potential adaptation strategy to sub-optimal or adverse environmental conditions such as drought. We tested this strategy over wet, dry and extremely dry periods comparing cocoa in full sun with agroforestry systems: shaded by (i) a leguminous tree species, Albi...

Cocoa production in West and Central Africa is low (200-700 kg/ha), as a result most cocoa farmers are not getting the full benefits from growing the crop. Studies conducted by the Sustainable Tree Crops Program (STCP) indicate that at present, a large number of farmers make a loss from growing c...

Agriculture in Africa is not only exposed to climate change impacts but is also a source of greenhouse gases (GHGs). While GHG emissions in Africa are relatively minimal in global dimensions, agriculture in the continent constitutes a major source of GHG emissions. In Ghana, agricultural emission...

On-farm trees in West and Central Africa are increasingly recognized as an important source of timber with tremendous opportunities for enhancing livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, contributing to reducing forest degradation and other functions. This policy brief highlights key findings and ...
