Description

The zip.file contains the Farm DESIGN model (software) as well as the input data. A user manual of the software is available online. The zipped Farm DESIGN model contains the whole-farm representation of nine farms in Northern Ghana. A low, medium and a high resource endowed farm per site, namely in Duko (Northern Region), Nyangua (Upper East) and Zanko (Upper West). There are several models per farm:


1. The current/ actual farm configuration

2. The baseline (reset to a situation with traditional (no Africa RISING) farming practices)

3. The farm, where Africa RISING Package 1 (Maize) is implemented

4. The farm, where Africa RISING Package 2 (Cowpea) is implemented

5. The farm, where Africa RISING Package 3 (Soybean) is implemented

6. The farm, where Africa RISING Package 4 (Maize-Legume Rotation) is implemented

7. The farm, where Africa RISING Package 5 (Maize-Legume Strip Crop) is implemented

8. A farm-model that is ready for an exploration (containing additional options the model may choose)
