  "summary": "Scientists in Ghana are utilizing a new technology, 3D subsurface imaging, to gain unprecedented insights into the underground processes that affect crop yields. This technology, deployed by the Crops Research Institute (CSIR-CRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), will enable researchers to monitor water movement and soil conditions in real time, providing a more comprehensive understanding of how farming practices influence soil health and crop growth. Funded by UK Research and Innovation, the project aims to enhance climate-resilient farming by integrating modern geophysical science with traditional agricultural practices, ultimately benefiting farmers and rural communities.",
