Description Food systems face multiple challenges simultaneously: provision to a growing population, adaptation
to more extreme and frequent climate change risks, and reduction of their considerable greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. Food system interventions and policies give rise to synergies and trade-offs that emerge over time due
to the dynamic nature and interconnections of system elements. Analysis of an entire food system is necessary to
identify synergies that bring simultaneous benefits and mitigate trade-offs, both short- and long-term.
OBJECTIVE: Our study aims to inform the sustainable transformation of food systems by identifying short- and
long-term synergies and trade-offs in the climate-smart village (CSV) Lawra-Jirapa in northern Ghana under the
current practices, technologies, policies, and trends of population growth, extreme events, and climate change
impacts.
