Abstract
The escalating global population demands heightened food production, prompting intensified agricultural practices worldwide. However, this surge in agricultural activity, particularly in underdeveloped regions like Ghana, often leads to the indiscriminate and excessive use of agrochemicals. This study delves into the ramifications of agrochemical misuse on human health and the environment, focusing on Ghana's agricultural sector. Through an examination of scientific evidence and empirical data, the study highlights the prevalence of agrochemical residues in food products and their association with various health conditions. Additionally, it scrutinizes the ecological consequences of agrochemical pollution, emphasizing the need for sustainable farming practices. By assessing the challenges posed by agrochemical misuse, this research advocates for the adoption of organic farming as a viable solution for achieving agricultural sustainability and safeguarding human and environmental well-being.
