Sustainable Intensification and Biodiversity

ISFM Outperforms Conventional Agriculture for Underground Arthropod Diversity in Northern Ghana

During the Status Seminar 2025 on Sustainable Land Management in Sub-Sahara Africa, held in Accra, Ghana, researchers gathered to exchange ideas and showcase ongoing work. As part of the seminar, a series of posters were created to present key insights and current progress.

Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) is increasingly promoted as asustainable intensification practice in West Africa. However, its impacts on biodiversity remain poorly understood. This study examines the response of arthropods to land use (LU) across an intensity gradient that includes pristine areas, ISFM, and conventional farms in northern Ghana.
