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.
? Nutrition captured?
? Explicit links to drivers? – markets; population? Need
a strong hypothesis; policies, land tenure implications?
?Where the numbers?
Priority value chains provide starting points

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
