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...

This paper suggests how the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) community can progressively make use of a flexible framework of analytical approaches that have been recently developed by scientific research. This allows a standardized but flexible use of indicator sets ada...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a major staple crop of Burkina Faso where farmers continue to cultivate photoperiod-sensitive guinea landraces as part of the strategy to minimize risk and ensure yield stability. In the Boucle du Mouhoun region, however, sorghum farmers appear to have ins...

Where there is limited availability of conventional fertilizers, the use of organic materials is considered a viable alternative to increase the productive capacity of soils. Many potential plant residues remain underutilized due to limited research on their use as a nutrient source. In this stud...

Background: The most limiting factors for sustainable maize production in smallholder farming systems of subSaharan
Africa, especially the savanna agro-ecological zone, are erratic rainfall pattern and low soil fertility.
Methods: Research was conducted with smallholder farmers in 2013 and 2014 i...
