GSSP recently released a policy note entitled Climate Change, Agriculture, and Foodcrop Production in Ghana that discusses mitigation options to reduce the effects of climate change on agricultural potential in Ghana. Agriculture still plays a major role in Ghana’s GDP despite the transition to industry and service sectors-led economy. The country is experiencing reduced rainfall in many areas, with the most severe occurring in the southwestern regions and the Kwahu Plateau as a result of climate change. Climate change results in heat stress, outbreak of pests and diseases, loss of productive lands through the deterioration of ecosystems, increased postharvest losses during storage and distribution, decreased livestock values, and reduced food accessibility and consumption. Due to farmers’ historical experiences with weather variability through climate change they have developed coping mechanisms to respond to consequences of climate change. The policy note also suggests mitigation options that can help reduce the potentially harmful effects of global warming by reducing the atmospheric concentration of GHG. The full policy note can be found on IFPRI's website.
