Dynamics of agricultural expansion into forest habitats in Ghana

Ghana’s increase in farm productivity is at the detriment of the preservation of the forest. Should we preserve the forest or use it to farm. This study look at the profitability of an investor in keeping a forest or farming. The big question here is, is it economically feasible to manage forestland or use for farm production. Sample pollution for the study is 385. Primary data will be collected from the two zones in Ghana namely the high forest and the savannah zone. Three districts each in the zones would be selected based on their forest dominance. Two communities from each district would be randomly selected where 32 respondents each would be interviewed.
