Highlights

A new spatial pattern of soil organic carbon and soil pH for the cocoa districts and agroecological zones of Ghana.

Unsuitably low cocoa soil organic and strong acidity.

A loss of soil organic carbon in a pattern that reflects historic boom-bust cycle of cocoa hot and cold spots transitions.

Homogeneity of soil organic carbon is moderate within a longer range than soil pH.

The role of large traders in driving sustainable agricultural intensification in smallholder farms: Evidence from Kenya

Submitted by Tali Hoffman on Mon, 2021-04-12 08:31

Visser, Martine

Pervasive threats of climate change and land degradation have compounded the inherent low farm productivity problem in sub‐Saharan Africa. Though sustainable agricultural intensification practices have been shown to improve the resilience of farm production in the face of these emerging threats, they suffer low adoption rates typical of any technology adoption in these regions. Recent evidence points to an emergence of large traders in smallholder grain markets of countries in sub‐Saharan Africa.
