Inadequate Government Support Hampers Protection of Ghana's Soil

The Soil Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research says inadequate government support hampers effort to protect and manage the country’s soil resources. Coordinator of Ghana Soil Health Consortium, Dr Edward Yeboah, says though the institute has made modest progress in its mandate, state response remains minimal. At a workshop in Kumasi, he underscored the need for training and dissemination of research findings to users. Amid global concerns about climate change, land degradation and biodiversity loss, soil is one of the most vulnerable resources. Scientific research, protection and monitoring of soil resources have become onerous tasks at national level.
