Map to the Future (M2F): Integrating soil mapping into cocoa farm development plans in Ghana

In collaboration with The Sustainability Innovation Lab at the University of Colorado (SILC), Boulder USA, USDA Agricultural Research Unit, and Touton Ghana, Grameen Foundation conducted a research project to evaluate the integration of site-specific soil data (such as through Grameen’s FarmGrow and SILC’s Land Potential application (LandPKS)) with traditional soil data products (e.g., regional-to-global soil maps) in an effort to provide location-specific soil information that smallholder cocoa farmers can use to improve soil health and overall farm productivity. The research found that the integration of LandPKS site-specific soil data, in combination with soil map data, into FarmGrow and other similar agronomic advisory tools could support smallholder farmers with more comprehensive soil data that would influence decisions regarding activities such as replanting and fertilizer use in addition to the suitability of other crops for the land. Further refinement of which data points are critical for these decisions is needed to ensure the additional data collection requirements are feasible for farmers.
