Unsustainable crop production methods deplete Ghana’s virgin forests: research (Xinhuanet)

October 10, 2019


Xinhua Net (China) reported on how the pattern of crop production in Ghana is environmentally harmful and unsustainable. The site quoted from the book, Ghana Economic and Agricultural Transformation: Past Performance and Future Prospects by Xinshen Diao, Danielle Resnick, Peter Hazell, and Shashidhara Kolavalli: “This pattern of growth has reduced Ghana’s competitiveness in developing agricultural exports other than cocoa, and in competing with imports like rice, poultry, and processed foods.” Republished by China.org.cn.
