Soil degradation is a significant challenge in Ghana's agricultural landscapes, affecting crop yields and ecosystem health. A randomized controlled trial was conducted across four eco-agricultural zones in Ghana, with treatment groups receiving integrated agroforestry and conservation farming techniques. Significant increases (p < 0. 05) were observed in soil organic carbon content by an average of 28% within the first year of intervention, correlating with enhanced microbial biomass activity. Agroecological practices significantly improved soil health and fertility indicators, demonstrating their potential for sustainable agricultural development in Ghana. Further research should focus on scaling up these interventions to broader regions and exploring longer-term impacts.
