Our Story

We began with a clear purpose: to understand how agricultural commercialization and household welfare shape everyday lives in Ghana. What started as focused studies on farming systems has grown into a broader journey — energy poverty, climate adaptation, impact evaluation, poverty analysis, and time poverty across Africa, trusted by partners including the World Bank, JICA, CIAT, and FAO.
