The (IP)-EPIC project has commenced!

The team met in Kumasi, Ghana to discuss approaches, resources and sites. They were fortunate enough to get out into the field and visit some wonderful cocoa farms around Bobiri forest and beyond.

The team also had a meeting with farmers near Bobiri to introduce the project and understand farmers' perceptions of the issues. The meeting was planned for around 30-40 farmers, but in the end around 80 attended, and provided some excellent input and enthusiasm!
