According to Ghana Web, Mr Romanus Gyang, Project Manager of the Climate Change Adaptation Learning Programme (ALP) under CARE International Ghana, said the farmers were being trained in their communities by ALP on pilot basis to see how such knowledge could help them meet the demands of climate change.
They are trained to adopt new and diversified agriculture and pastoralist practices that increase production and boost incomes; and to deal with extreme climate events through disaster risk reduction plans, access to financial and environmental actions. Further discussions on environment protection and indigenous ways of predicting rains were also addressed during the training.
