Abstract
This study explores how farming practices that adapt to climate change impact food security in Ghana’s Central Region. It finds that most farmers are using low to moderately sustainable practices, which affects their food security. While many households experience hunger, those who adopt more sustainable farming practices tend to have better food security. The study suggests that improving the sustainability of farming can help protect against the effects of climate change and improve food availability for farm households.
