Key research activities
• We used data from multiple sources to generate a range of simple
production scenarios that allow us to quickly explore options for sustainable
intensification.
• Three yield scenarios: 50th and 90th percentile yields for the region, and
experimental potential yields (from ICRISAT trials and other literature).
• These were evaluated for current crop allocation and with crop area
optimized for maximizing profit.
• Constraints on optimization are: meeting household calorie needs from
grain production and no more than 2 ha of maize for each 1 ha of cotton,
because of policies which limit fertilizer availability.
Implications of the research for
generating development outcomes
Results and main findings
• Crop area is closely tied to household size, (Figure 1, inset) and crop
allocation is relatively diverse (Figure 1).
• In optimization scenarios crop allocation produces enough maize to meet
family food needs, enough cotton to procure the inputs for maize, and the
rest of the land allocated to the most profitable crop (groundnut or cotton).
• In 50th percentile scenarios 21% of households are not food self-sufficient.
This declines to <1% in all intensification scenarios.
• The percentage of households above the $1.25/worker/day poverty line
increases from 1% in the 50th percentile scenario to 86% in the optimized
potential yield scenario, but less than half of households earn over
$2/worker/day, and only 12% make more than the average yearly income
from gold mining (Figure 2).
• Farm size is labor-constrained, and land is available for expansion.
• Farm incomes are generally low, and improved yields can only reduce levels
of extreme poverty and food insecurity, and cannot compete with off-farm
income sources.
• Interventions on staple crops should thus focus on food-insecure
households, while more profitable options should be developed to meet
poverty reduction goals.
• If options for testing and dissemination are presented along with their
potential benefits with regards to improving food self-sufficiency and/or
profitability, targeting of options can be done through farmers’ voluntary
selection.
• This analysis does not account for nutrition security or dietary diversity,
both of which are important to consider when aiming for impact in health
outcomes.
• A further analysis would also consider storage losses, impacts of warrantage
systems or changes in subsidies or market prices.
How this work would continue in
Africa RISING phase 2
The Africa Research In Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) program comprises three research-for-
development projects supported by the United States Agency for International Development as part of the U.S. government’s Feed the
Future initiative.
Through action research and development partnerships, Africa RISING will create opportunities for smallholder farm households to move out
of hunger and poverty through sustainably intensified farming systems that improve food, nutrition, and income security, particularly for
women and children, and conserve or enhance the natural resource base.
The three projects are led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (in West Africa and East and Southern Africa) and the
International Livestock Research Institute (in the Ethiopian Highlands). The International Food Policy Research Institute leads an
associated project on monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment.
www.africa-rising.net
Yield data from the IFRPI Mali AfricaRISING Baseline Survey. Market prices
collected by the Institut d’Economie Rurale. Other data collected in
collaboration with the Compagnie malienne pour le développement du textile
(CMDT), Association Malienne d’Eveil au Développement Durable (AMEDD),
Mouvement Biologique du Mali (MoBioM), Wageningen University and
ICRISAT.
This information will be shared with project partners in order to better plan
and target dissemination activities. It will also be important to share insights
with policymakers, as this analysis has implications for agricultural policy.

Solution space for sustainable intensification in Bougouni

  • 1. Solution space for sustainable intensification in Bougouni Mary Ollenburger1,2, Katrien Descheemaeker1, Todd Crane3, Ken Giller1 1Wageningen University, Plant Production Systems Group 2International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) 3International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) Corresponding author email: mary.ollenburger@wur.nl Key research activities • We used data from multiple sources to generate a range of simple production scenarios that allow us to quickly explore options for sustainable intensification. • Three yield scenarios: 50th and 90th percentile yields for the region, and experimental potential yields (from ICRISAT trials and other literature). • These were evaluated for current crop allocation and with crop area optimized for maximizing profit. • Constraints on optimization are: meeting household calorie needs from grain production and no more than 2 ha of maize for each 1 ha of cotton, because of policies which limit fertilizer availability. Implications of the research for generating development outcomes Results and main findings • Crop area is closely tied to household size, (Figure 1, inset) and crop allocation is relatively diverse (Figure 1). • In optimization scenarios crop allocation produces enough maize to meet family food needs, enough cotton to procure the inputs for maize, and the rest of the land allocated to the most profitable crop (groundnut or cotton). • In 50th percentile scenarios 21% of households are not food self-sufficient. This declines to <1% in all intensification scenarios. • The percentage of households above the $1.25/worker/day poverty line increases from 1% in the 50th percentile scenario to 86% in the optimized potential yield scenario, but less than half of households earn over $2/worker/day, and only 12% make more than the average yearly income from gold mining (Figure 2). • Farm size is labor-constrained, and land is available for expansion. • Farm incomes are generally low, and improved yields can only reduce levels of extreme poverty and food insecurity, and cannot compete with off-farm income sources. • Interventions on staple crops should thus focus on food-insecure households, while more profitable options should be developed to meet poverty reduction goals. • If options for testing and dissemination are presented along with their potential benefits with regards to improving food self-sufficiency and/or profitability, targeting of options can be done through farmers’ voluntary selection. • This analysis does not account for nutrition security or dietary diversity, both of which are important to consider when aiming for impact in health outcomes. • A further analysis would also consider storage losses, impacts of warrantage systems or changes in subsidies or market prices. How this work would continue in Africa RISING phase 2 The Africa Research In Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) program comprises three research-for- development projects supported by the United States Agency for International Development as part of the U.S. government’s Feed the Future initiative. Through action research and development partnerships, Africa RISING will create opportunities for smallholder farm households to move out of hunger and poverty through sustainably intensified farming systems that improve food, nutrition, and income security, particularly for women and children, and conserve or enhance the natural resource base. The three projects are led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (in West Africa and East and Southern Africa) and the International Livestock Research Institute (in the Ethiopian Highlands). The International Food Policy Research Institute leads an associated project on monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment. www.africa-rising.net Yield data from the IFRPI Mali AfricaRISING Baseline Survey. Market prices collected by the Institut d’Economie Rurale. Other data collected in collaboration with the Compagnie malienne pour le développement du textile (CMDT), Association Malienne d’Eveil au Développement Durable (AMEDD), Mouvement Biologique du Mali (MoBioM), Wageningen University and ICRISAT. This information will be shared with project partners in order to better plan and target dissemination activities. It will also be important to share insights with policymakers, as this analysis has implications for agricultural policy.
