Prioritising the key elements of sustainable intensification

The project recognizes that sustainable intensification is complex and multidimensional, and that a small project of this nature cannot address all aspects. The project will therefore specifically focus on the intersection between crops and livestock in relation to: Improved food-feed crop ...

Determining the drivers and trajectories of intensification

The project hypothesises that the potential trajectory for intensification – and therefore the combinations and sequences of solutions to enhance sustainable intensification of smallholder crop livestock systems – will vary depending on the drivers, past trends and current level of intensification ...

Selecting a geographic focus for the project

To focus project activities, we want to identify a small number of representative research locations that capture this gradient of intensification. Whilst many GIS layers of information are available that can be superimposed to guide site selection, a few key dimensions ...

How markets for animal and crop commodities interact with sustainable intensification

‘Market pull’ for specific commodities is likely to be a key driver of sustainable intensification, both from the perspective of promoting improved crop and animal husbandry for better productivity and in providing incentives for natural resource management. Institutional mechanisms that enable ...

Mapping ongoing research and development activities offering synergies

The Ethiopian Highlands are the focus of many development and research for development initiatives that offer potential synergies with our proposed project. We want to ensure that we are interacting with major initiatives as we move towards implementation. Help us identify ...

Sustainable intensification of mixed crop livestock systems is a key pathway towards better food security, improved livelihoods and a healthy environment. As part of the US government’s Feed the Future initiative to address hunger and food security issues in sub-Saharan Africa, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is supporting three multi-stakeholder agricultural research projects to sustainably intensify key African farming systems.

This website reports on the activities of these projects which form a Program: ‘Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation – Africa RISING.’
