Agricultural Innovations for Climate Change Adaptations and Food Security in Ghana and the Gambia: Policy Options

“It is recognised that climate change will impact Africa negatively and therefore will have dire consequences for food security. However agricultural innovations can be used to forestall this or minimise the impacts. Innovation is an interactive
process involving various critical actors working in a given socio-economic and
cultural system to bring about improvements or advances in the production of goods and services. Agricultural innovations therefore are the interactive
processes as well as the products and services that are produced by this
process.”
