In Bono East, Ghana, subsistence farmer Faustina Amponsah combats the effects of climate change on her agricultural activities by partnering with EcoCare Ghana to plant tree seedlings, aiming to restore rainfall patterns and improve farming.

EcoCare Ghana's Landscapes and Environmental Agility Across the Nation Programme, funded by the EU, provides free seedlings and training in alternative livelihoods like snail rearing, beekeeping, and livestock rearing. Other farmers in the community, such as Peprah Gyau and Kwabena Afena, also face similar challenges and are adopting tree planting and alternative livelihoods. The Ghanaian government supports these efforts with the Green Ghana project, distributing over 10 million seedlings annually. EcoCare Ghana's project officer Enock Okyere emphasizes the importance of smart agriculture and alternative income channels for farmers affected by climate change.
