In March 2025, we hosted researchers from UCL, University of Ghana and University of Nigeria, Nsukka at our ecovillage in Akwamu-Kwanyarko as part of the Innovate UK Climate-Smart Agriculture Scoping Project. We are very pleased to share this public facing report which summarises the research gaps, opportunities for innovation and associated challenges in sustainable forms of pest control in farming systems across Ghana and Nigeria. Thanks to all the partners who made the scoping efforts a success.
