Using household-level survey data, this study investigates farmers’ perceptions on untreated wastewater use for irrigation
of vegetable farms in urban and peri-urban Kumasi of Ghana. Empirical results from an ordered probit model show that there
is some relationship between personal characteristics of farmers such as age, education and gender, and perceptions of farmers
on health-related risks of untreated wastewater use for irrigation. Policy efforts should be geared toward updating the knowledge,
skills and attitudes of producers through frequent training and workshops so that wastewater irrigation farmers in Ghana would
better appreciate health-related risks of waster irrigation and how to adopt risk mitigating strategies. Further research
for a more in-depth analysis on those relationships in the short-term with immediate emphasis on improving adoption of safer
irrigation technologies among wastewater irrigation farmers is recommended. 相似文献
