Flood disaster has gained global attention due to the huge impact it has on human lives, economies, and sustainable environments. Flood disaster preparedness, which can significantly be influenced by disaster risk perception, has been highlighted as an effective way to manage flood disaster risk, as many other means have proved futile, yet no study...

Full-text available
People’s lives, particularly farmers’, have been affected by extreme weather conditions that have reduced the yield of numerous crops due to climate change. Climate-smart agriculture practices can reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions and have the propensity to increase farm income and productivity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to...

Risk is associated with every sector of an economy, and the pervasiveness of risk in agriculture is not new to farmers; they have, over the decades, developed ways to minimize and cope with it. The question is whether traditional strategies employed by farmers are adequate to curb unavoidable natural disasters. This study aims to see how crop insur...

Flooding is Ghana's most occurrent natural disaster, with Accra, the capital city and central economic hub experiencing the highest flood incidence and the effects on lives and properties. With the increasing trend of data on rainfall above 20 mm (heavy rain) in Accra from 1980 to 2020, a high possibility of future flood hazards has been projected,...
Article
Northern Ghana is noted for its significant contribution to the food basket in Ghana. Farmers in the region suffer severely from extreme climatic conditions, with floods among the most devastating disasters. This study uses binary logistic regression model and the Poisson count model to address this threat to food security by analyzing the nexus be...
Article

This study uses evidence gathered from survey responses from 572 rural households in Ghana to examine the link between organic expenditure and off-farm income. To solve the endogeneity problem related to off-farm income, we use the instrumental variable Tobit model. The findings showed that expenditure on organic food was strongly and favorably con...

The impact of access to financial services (AFS) and access to informal financial services (AIFS) on farmer income is examined in this study. After a multi-stage random sampling procedure, the study used a sample size of 478 people from two regions in Ghana. The endogenous treatment regression (ETR) model was used to account for selection bias whil...
Article
Agriculture is the most weather-dependent and risky sector where it is unpredictable when a season will be profitable during harvest. Droughts and floods may increase the risk of weather-related catastrophes in agriculture. Weather index Insurance has been widely recommended for decades to control weather risk. 600 Ashanti cocoa producers were surv...
Article
Agricultural development has been universally recognized as a critical component of the growth of emerging countries. West and Central African countries have traditionally relied heavily on agriculture to provide food, raw materials for other industries, and employment opportunities. However, anthropogenic causes, including the combustion of fossil...
Article
The adverse effects of climate change on livestock farming and how to overcome such effects is a situation that requires critical attention. In Ghana, livestock farming contributes to household welfare and economic growth; however, studies on livestock production are few. This study investigates the impact of climate change adaptation strategies on...

Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between fiscal policy, energy consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions in the sub-Saharan African region. Approach/Methodology/Design: The cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag, common correlated effect means group, and the augmented mean group were used to analyze the long-run effect of f...
Article
Purpose The purpose of this research is to examine the validity of the agriculture-induced environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis with evidence from an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach with a structural break including real income and energy consumption in the model for Ghana over the period 1980–2014. Design/methodology/approa...

The emergence of agricultural cooperatives is extensively viewed as a necessary institutional arrangement that can help farmers in developing countries overcome the constraints that impede them from improving sustainable agricultural production and acquiring new marketing opportunities. Therefore, this study examines the determinants of cooperative...
Article
Full-text available
Massive and rapid urbanization has led to population loss in rural areas, particularly in emerging and developing countries like China. As a result, houses in rural areas become vacant, and the house prices in cities, at the same time, skyrocket. While the research on the vacant farmhouses market (VFM) is a pressing issue for sustainable urbanizati...
