Postharvest losses and mitigating technologies: evidence from Upper East Region of Ghana
Sustainable Futures, 2021 Post-harvest losses (PHL) have been identified as a crucial challenge to achieving food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa. Access to reliable data and standardized methods of estimating PHL are a twin barrier to developing long term mitigation

Pattern Formation in Mesic Savannas
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2023 AbstractWe analyze a spatially extended version of a well-known model of forest-savanna dynamics, which presents as a system of nonlinear partial integro-differential equations, and study necessary conditions for pattern-forming bifurcations. Homogeneous solutions dominate the dynamics of the standard forest-savanna model, regardless of the length ...

Genetic characterization and population structure of maize populations using SSR markers
Annals of Agricultural Sciences, 2019 Maize is a major staple food in sub-Saharan Africa. However, due to the threats posed by biotic and abiotic constraints to its production, it is a prerequisite to conserve germplasm with diverse genetic background and to seek for favourable genotypes ...
