Nestled on a narrow strip between the Gulf of Guinea and the Keta Lagoon, the Ghanaian village of Setsinu has long depended on its unique geography for farming and fishing. But climate change is transforming that blessing into a threat.Setsinu's proximity to water has left it at a high risk of flooding, and in recent years those floods have wiped out crops and displaced families. Through the voices of farmers like Selorm Akli, Olivia Abogado, Simon Avor, and Sylvanus Nyidewu, you'll hear how the community is responding—not just with resilience, but by turning to ancestral knowledge.They're rebuilding bunds, traditional earthen barriers once used to protect farmland from floodwaters. It's a nature-based solution passed down through generations, now being revived to meet the challenges of today.This episode was produced by Jonah Grignon, and hosted by Ivy Prosper. Edited by Jonah Grignon and Tara Sprickerhoff.
