Towards developing scalable climate-smart village models: approach and lessons learnt from pilot research in West Africa
The rapid growth of mobile phones in Ghana has opened up the possibility of delivering timely and useful weather and market information to farmers at costs lower than traditional agricultural extension services. In this paper, we assess the usefulness, constraints, and factors likely to influence...

An assessment of mobile phone-based dissemination of weather and market information in the Upper West Region of Ghana
Abstract: This paper investigates the economic impacts of climate change on cereal crop production
in Northern Ghana using 240 households comprising maize and sorghum farmers. The Ricardian
regression approach was used to examine the economic impacts of climate change based on data
generated from...

Adaptation Processes in Agriculture and Food Security: Insights from Evaluating Behavioral Changes in West Africa
Adaptation strategies to reduce smallholder farmers’ vulnerability to climate variability and seasonality are needed given the frequency of extreme weather events predicted to increase during the next decades in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in West Africa. We explored the linkages between sel...
