“…The threats that economic growth poses to the environment are now clearer than ever; as pollution and environmental degradation worsen, the awareness of consumers and governments also increases (Harper & Snowden, 2017;. Supply chain stakeholders have a great deal of power in steering the trend of markets towards greener alternatives, but they can do it only through the adoption of reliable codes of conduct and by providing adequate information on the environmentally friendly activities adopted (Ashby, Leat, & Hudson-Smith, 2012;Illge & Preuss, 2012;Walker & Jones, 2012).…”

Corporate social responsibility has become a strategic asset for food firms to demonstrate their good environmental conduct. The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of the implementation of corporate social responsibility activities on the reorganization of vertical relationships within food supply chains. Applying content analysis techniques to the Global Reporting Initiative reports, we collected qualitative data on investments in environmentally friendly options, the adoption of standards, stakeholder engagement, information searches, impact-monitoring activities, and chain coordination to transform it into quali-quantitative data. We find that the variables affecting chain coordination relate to the presence of sourcing standards, effort in discussing with chain partners ways to prevent and manage chain environmental impacts, and costs related to stakeholder feedback collection. The results of the analysis confirm corporate social responsibility as a strategic tool to improve supply chain relationships through an augmented vertical coordination and to integrate environmental policy.

On the other hand, societies are heavily industrialized can afford to have more sick members in society at one go compared to developing nations that depend on the availability of the human force in the agricultural and horticultural sectors (Harper, Harper, & Snowden, 2017).

“…The capacity of peasant agriculture to provide sufficient food and raw materials is however threatened by the galloping world population growth and climate change [4]. The quest to increase food production to meet demand has been a salient element in national affairs and international fora, generating tension and the desire for conventional intensification measures among farmers [5,6] Aside, agriculture is currently at crossings as the looming calamity from climate change has compounded water shortage, prolonged drought and climate-induced human ailments exacerbating food deficiency [7,8,9,10].…”

Peasant association plays a central role in climate change adaptation. Farmer-based associations serve as a conduit for the implementation of climate change adaptation practices by contributing to knowledge sharing and assimilation. In Ghana, the role of peasant associations in climate change adaptation is unnoticed. Employing a mixed research approaches the procurement of data, this study gives a deeper understanding of peasant associations and their activities of two regions in the country. It also examines the contributions of peasant associations to climate change adaptation. It was established that peasant associations promoted understanding and implementation of climate change adaptation strategies including preparation and application of compost, residue management, row/distance planting, use of drought tolerant seeds, afforestation and crop rotation which benefited farmers in getting more yield and by extension being able to reinvest in their farms and venture into other livelihood strategies. The study concluded that Non- Governmental Organizations interested in climate change adaptation should target and build the capacity of farmer peasant groups for appropriate climate change adaptation and achievement of poverty alleviation and long-term food security.
