FIELDS APART: EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF LAND FRAGMENTATION ON TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY IN MAIZE FARMING WITHIN GHANA'S TRANSITIONAL ZONE
Read Abstract
This study investigates the intricate relationship between land fragmentation and technical efficiency in maize farming within the Transitional Zone of Ghana. Employing a comprehensive analysis, we examine how the division of land affects the operational efficiency of maize farmers in this region. Utilizing a combination of quantitative data and empirical evidence, our research sheds light on the nuanced dynamics and implications of land fragmentation on agricultural productivity. The findings contribute valuable insights to agricultural policy formulation and resource management strategies in similar agro-ecological contexts.
