Ghana
LL Assin Fosu- New Edubiase
Status: Operational LLs
System: Forest-Transitional /Agroforest
Improved AFSP management to be tested
Canopy management
Local shade trees (Ceiba pentadra, Alstonia boonei etc.)
Seasonal cover crops for mulch
In-situ biomass generation for household needs
Association with drought-resilient crop species for mutual benefits (e.g. successional cocoa/cashew/cocoa)
Drought-tolerant new cocoa populations
Carbon farming opportunities
Certification schemes opportunities (organic, FairTrade, RainForest)
Expected impact
Improved cocoa productivity (ratio fruit bearing/vegetative growth)
Improved water functions
SOC build up, soil erosion control
Reduced incidence of pests and diseases
Resilience to drought
Natural regeneration and drought resilience for cocoa seedlings
Forest conservation
Income diversification (fuelwood, secondary products, carbon farming)
Increased access to market through certification
