Crop-livestock integration and intensification

  1. Crop-livestock integration and intensification André F. van Rooyen, Sabine Homann-Kee Tui, Thabani Dube (Neil MaCleod & Cam McDonald - CSIRO)
  2. Why crop-livestock integration? • The synergies between different farming enterprises ensure food and nutritional security, increase income, reduce risk and increase resilience. • Integrated systems improve the input/output ratios of water, land, labor and other inputs. • Integration of crops and livestock, specifically goats and groundnuts & mucuna have immense positive impact on women and children!

  4. Why Livestock/Income?

  17. What have we learnt? • Farmers respond to market signals and invest in agricultural production. • Feed production is crucial in reducing mortalities and producing high quality animal products • Farmers understand the role of legumes in improving overall system functioning • Huge opportunities for legumes!!! • Integrated systems reduce climatic shock • Innovation Platform process is effective in facilitating change within these systems
  18. The future: ZimCLIFS, ENSURE & EXTRA • Refine the CLL system within different areas through participatory modeling and capacity building • Continue building on the successes achieved with mucuna, need to investigate other legumes and dual purpose crop varieties • Crucial to release CG7 (in Zimbabwe) – seed supply!!! • Introduce small scale mechanization for groundnuts; lifters, strippers, shellers • Strengthen value chains for groundnuts and small ruminants • Higher level stakeholders & policy engagement for building longer term adaptive capacity and impact • Continue to refine the Innovation Platform process and build local capacity to increase its use and impact. • Continuously evaluate the progress and adjust course where needed.
