PhD Seminar: Bernard Ekumah's final seminar
PhD candidates at LUCSUS hold three seminars during their education: a start-up seminar, a mid-seminar, and a final seminar. Participation in seminars is essential for doctoral students to reach learning outcomes fully. The seminars are always in English.
Bernard Ekumah's doctoral research focuses on examining the emergence and growth of smallholder farmers' organisations in Ghana and how they employ collective action in their engagement with government and private investors to safeguard the interests of smallholder farmers in large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs). It explores the complex ways in which smallholder farmers respond to the impacts of LSLAs. The study also assesses the environmental and food security consequences of the (mal)adaptation strategies adopted by smallholder farmers in the face of LSLA. This doctoral research is part of a larger project, “Mobilizing farmer organisations for sustainable agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa”.
