Climate change perception and the adoption of innovation among mango plantation farmers in the Yilo Krobo municipality, Ghana

Adoption of Renewable Energy Technology on Farms for Sustainable and Efficient Production: Exploring the Role of Entrepreneurial Orientation, Farmer Perception and Government Policies

“…Climate change has a significant negative effect on crop yields. In Zimbabwe, the use of sustainable agricultural advances like conservation agriculture and drought-resistant maize has led to higher crop yields and better food security for households [55,56]. Van Vuuren et al [57] found that a strong transition to resource efficiency, sustainable production practices and human development investment could lead to the use of RE, less land use and lower greenhouse gas emissions caused by agriculture.…”

Understanding the Perception of Mango (Mangifera indica) Farmers on the Impact of Climate Change on Mango Farming in Nigeria

“…However, mango farming is not excluded from other crops that are facing the challenge of climatic variability. Impact of CC on mango production has been reported in some West African countries such as Ghana [10,11], Nigeria [12,13], and Côte d'Ivoire [14], to mention but a few. Te impact of CC on mango production has far-reaching consequences for both farmers and the broader economy because it has the potential impact on industrial production, which depends solely on mango fruits as their inputs [15], sustainable living for those that depend on mango production as a source of livelihood [4,16,17], and generally on the citizenry that delights in enjoying the sweet taste of the fruit [18].…”

“…Tus, he recommended training and promulgation of relevant policies to enhance farmers' coping with the menace. In supporting these views, the authors of [10] added post-harvest losses and frequent droughts as part of the perceptions of mango farmers on the efect of CC on their farming, then suggested unhindered access to various socioeconomic resources and education to boost their adaptive capacity. Mango trees require specifc climatic conditions to thrive, including a defned temperature range, adequate rainfall, and distinct dry and wet seasons [10].…”

Te authors of [10,21] further asserted that changes in these conditions have capacity to disrupt the growing cycle of mango, fowering, fruiting, and overall mango yields. For instance, rising temperatures can lead to heat stress which could afecting the growth and development of mango trees [20,21].…”
