Agroecological practices are recognised for their potential to improve soil health and fertility in Ghana's agricultural landscapes. A comprehensive search strategy was employed to identify relevant literature from peer-reviewed journals, grey literature, and conference proceedings. Studies published between and were considered for inclusion based on predefined criteria related to soil health outcomes and agroecological practices. The review identified a significant proportion (75%) of studies reporting positive effects of agroecological interventions on soil organic matter levels, with an average increase of about 3% in organic carbon content per year. Microbial diversity was also observed to have improved in many cases. Agroecological practices are effective in improving soil health and fertility in Ghanaian agricultural settings, particularly when integrated into sustainable farming systems. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impacts of these practices on soil quality and their potential for scaling up across diverse geographical and socio-economic conditions in Ghana. The empirical specification follows Y=₀+^ X+, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
