Program purpose (version 3.0):

Provide pathways out of hunger and poverty

for small holder families, particularly for women

and children, through sustainably intensified

farming systems.

Research scope

Strong, formalized linkages

Program objectives (version 3.0):

•Identify demand-driven sustainable intensification options that are socially acceptable, economically feasible, and environmentally sound.

•Combine and adapt these options to address constraints and exploit opportunities.

•Evaluate their effectiveness at multiple scales.

•Catalyze ongoing sustainable farm intensification.

Program outcomes (version 3.0)

• Sustainable increase of whole farm productivity

•Improved on- and off-farm natural resource management

•Improved connectivity to and utilization of off-farm systems (e.g., markets, inputs suppliers) that support sustainable intensification

•Increased nutritional and economic levels of the target populations, especially women and children

•Reduced vulnerability and increased resilience of the target population and farming systems to adverse environmental and economic challenges.

Demand-driven R & D at multiple levels•CAADP priorities – Africa owned and led (Countries, ASARECA, CCARDESA)

• Opportunities for the project to address issues that may arise over the medium- to long-term (anticipatory)

•Development partner priorities & allied activities (e.g., SIMLESA; Concern Worldwide-Zambia)

• Opportunities for greater impact

• Farmer priorities – options & decision making tools• Opportunities for the project to address issues

important to farmers in the near-term
