Abstract:

The aim was to examine the effect of green finance on agricultural sustainability performance in Ghana. The specific objectives the study sought to achieve include examining the effect of green finance on agricultural sustainability performance in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. A sample of four hundred (400) randomly chosen rural farmers was the subject of a cross-sectional quantitative study design. A systematic, closed-ended, five-point Likert scale was used in the questionnaire. Regression analysis was used to interpret the data. The results of the study showed that there is an adverse and no significant relationship between agricultural sustainability performance and green funding. Also, the study indicated that the rural farmers in Ghana are relatively weak and lack technical green support, which weakened their role in accessing green finance and adversely affected Ghana's agricultural sustainability performance. The rural farmers in Ghana are associated with high risks which are highly widespread, adversely affecting the green credit support for rural farmers' agricultural business and adversely affecting agricultural sustainability performance. According to the study, the Ghanaian government should focus heavily on policies that support green agriculture, boost funding for scientific and technological innovation, keep creating and introducing new green agricultural products and technologies, and work to make green agriculture more sustainable and competitive.
