On-farm cocoa yields increase with canopy cover of shade trees in two agro-ecological zones in Ghana
Despite Ghana’s large contribution to global cocoa production, average yields are low. Policymakers and practitioners are calling for implementation of a climate smart strategy by increasing yields and augmenting shade tree cover in cocoa systems. However, there have been few studies in West Africa...
