The critical challenges posed by climate variability to rural livelihoods in Ghana took center stage during a presentation by Barbara Baidoo, a PhD fellow, at the LANDSURF findings dissemination workshop in Accra. <\/p>\n

Baidoo\u2019s research revealed the significant toll of climate variability on crop yields and fish stocks, essential pillars of rural economies.<\/p>\n

Her conclusion emphasized three key findings:<\/p>\n

– Climate variability significantly affects rural livelihoods in Ghana, particularly impacting crop yields and fish stocks.<\/p>\n

– Integrating traditional practices with scientific approaches provides localized, adaptive strategies that enhance resilience against climate challenges.<\/p>\n

– Cloud-based remote sensing data plays a pivotal role in monitoring and analyzing environmental changes at large scales, enabling real-time insights and facilitating informed decision-making for effective climate adaptation strategies.<\/p>\n

Baidoo\u2019s presentation was part of a two-day workshop held on December 18 and 19, 2024, at the Foreign Service Institute in Accra. <\/p>\n

The event marked the dissemination of findings from the LANDSURF project, officially titled “Land Surface Processes as a Determinant of Climate Change in Africa \u2013 Scenarios, High-Resolution Modeling, and Development of a Stakeholder Data Portal.” The initiative is a WASCAL WRAP 2.0 project supported by the German Federal Ministry of High Education and Research (BMBF).<\/p>\n

Over three years of intensive research, the LANDSURF project has developed a high-resolution regional earth system model for West Africa (WESM) and an interactive Decision Support System (DSS) for agriculture, food production, and land management. <\/p>\n

The workshop brought together stakeholders to explore the DSS\u2019s applications, gather feedback for improvement, and discuss practical strategies for implementing research findings.<\/p>\n

The event underscored the importance of bridging scientific research with traditional knowledge and practical applications to promote sustainable land management and climate resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
