TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed determinants of farmers' participation and credit rationing in micro credit programs using survey data from Ghana using the Garrett Ranking Technique to analyze farmers' reasons for participation or non-participation in credit programs, a probit regression model to estimate factors influencing farm households' participation, and the Heckman's sample selection model to identify factors influencing farmers' probability of being credit rationed by microcredit programs.

TL;DR: In this article, the gender dimensions of climate change adaptation strategies among small holder crop farmers in the transition zone of Ghana were discussed and a total of 612 farmers (328 females and 284 males) were surveyed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive capacity of communities living around two protected areas (Kogyae Strict Nature Reserve and Muni-Pomadze Ramsar Site) in Ghana were assessed in relation to MPES by investigating household accessibility to human, social, natural, financial and physical capital.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of education on the adaptive capacity of farmers to digout construction and improvement suggest education will only make a difference for those with low adaptive capacity, which suggests that there is a threshold below which education or access to financial services exerts a positive influence on a farmer's adaptive capacity.
