Africa RISING

  Program Purpose and Objectives

Provide pathways out of hunger and poverty for small holder families,
particularly for women and children, through sustainably intensified
farming systems that sufficiently improve food, nutrition, and income
security and conserve or enhance the natural resource base.

• 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.
Africa RISING


Program Outcomes

  • Whole farm productivity
  • Natural resource management
  • Connect to markets & input suppliers
  • Nutrition and poverty, especially
    women and children
  • Economic & environmental resilience

Beyond tradeoffs?
• Increase above- and below-ground biomass to
  improve soil health & system productivity (e.g.,
  fertilizer trees, legumes, N/P fertilization)
• Diversification (crop & enterprise) for greater
  resilience, productivity, and nutrition
• Integrating livestock and mechanization into
  conservation agriculture
• Improve water productivity to reduce risk & enhance
  investment
