  • Food security and climate change in drought-sensitive savanna zones of Ghana 
    Armah, Frederick A.; Odoi, Justice O.; Yengoh, Genesis T.; Obiri, Samuel; Yawson, David O.; Afrifa, Ernest K. A. (University of Cape Coast, 2010-09-04)
    Desertification, climate variability and food security are closely linked through drought, land cover changes, and climate and biological feedbacks. In Ghana, only few studies have documented these linkages. To establish ...
  • Guiding phosphorus stewardship for multiple ecosystem services 
    Macdonald, Graham K.; Jarvie, Helen P.; Withers, Paul J. A.; Doody, Donnacha G.; Keeler, Bonnie L.; Powers, Stephen M.; Sharpley, Andrew N.; Shen, Jianbo; Douglas R. Smith; Weintraub, Michael N.; Zhang, Tiequan; Haygarth, Philip M.; Miyittah, Michael K. (University of Cape Coast, 2017)
    The essential role of phosphorus (P) for agriculture and its impact on water quality has received decades of research attention. However, the benefits of sustainable P use and management for society due to its downstream ...
  • Impact of prolonged rainy seasons on food crop production in Cameroon 
    Yengoh, Genesis T.; Tchuinte, Augustin; Armah, Frederick Ato; Odoi, Justice O. (University of Cape Coast, 2010-07-20)
    This study set out to examine why agricultural production in differing agroecological zones of the same country responds differently to a common environmental event (an extension of the rainy season). We find that the heavy ...
  • Preparation of charcoal briquette from palm kernel shells: case study in Ghana 
    Bonsu, Betty Osei; Takase, Mohammed; Mantey, Jones (University of Cape Cape, 2020)
    In Ghana, the potential of palm kernel shells as renewable energy in charcoal production has not been exploited adequately. Using a low-cost instrument (kiln and compressor box) built from local resources, we produced ...
  • Virtual water fows under projected climate, land use and population change: the case of UK feed barley and meat 
    Yawson, D.O; Mohan, S.; Armah, F.A.; Ball, T.; Mulholland, B.; Adu, M.O.; White, P.J. (University of Cape Coast, 2019)
    The fow of water through food commodity trade has been rationalized in the virtual water concept. Estimates of future virtual water flows under climate, land use, and population changes could have instrumental value for ...
