After a period of relative stagnation in the 1990s, agricultural
research and development (R&D) spending in Ghana
increased dramatically after 2002. In 2008, Ghana
spent 352 billion cedis or 95 million PPP dollars on ...

Reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggest that agricultural yields
will suffer negative consequences of climate change if no serious intervention is carried out (IPCC,
2007). Studies have ...

Integrated technological options are necessary for improving
livestock production. Therefore, feed interventions for improving
small ruminant production have to be associated with health
interventions.
Supplementary ...
Avornyo, F. K.; Ayantunde, A. A.; Larbi, A.(Africa RISING, 2015)
The extensive small ruminant production system is characterized by disease outbreaks, shortage of feed and limited availability of water. Secondly, the crop and livestock systems are not effectively integrated to promote ...
The tropical high forests of West Africa have been under stress due to a
greater dependence on wood resources. Logging rate has more than doubled within
the last decade. However, the exact effects of logging on vegetation ...
