Project purpose (version 2.0): Provide sustainable pathways out of hunger and poverty for rural populations, particularly for women and children, through sufficiently improved food, nutrition, and income security and conservation and enhancement of the natural resource base.

Project purpose (version 2.1): Provide pathways out of hunger and poverty for small holder families (define this?), 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.

Priority value chains provide starting points (for example:) Production Processing Marketing Inputs and services Maize Production Processing Marketing Inputs and services Horticulture

Sustainable intensification via a systems approach Production Processing Marketing Inputs and services Maize Production Processing Marketing Inputs and services Horticulture Production Processing Marketing Inputs and services Livestock Production Processing Marketing Inputs and services Legumes

Equipment / fertilizer Research scope? Extension Equipment / fertilizer Seeds & Breeds Production Marketing Milling / packaging Post-harvest storage Maize Horticulture Livestock Legumes

Productivity / profitability Research scope Nutrition Natural Res. Mngmt. Gender issues Productivity / profitability Maize Horticulture Livestock Legumes

Equipment / fertilizer Research scope Extension Equipment / fertilizer Seeds & Breeds Production Marketing Milling / packaging Post-harvest storage Maize Horticulture Livestock Legumes Strong, formalized linkages

Project objectives (version 2.0): Identify, combine, adapt and evaluate sustainable intensification farming options Effectively deliver and scale out research outputs to end users

Project objectives (version 2.1): Identify, combine, and adapt sustainable intensification farming options at the farm scale Evaluate the effects at the field, farm, and landscape scales Effectively deliver and scale out research outputs to end users

Project outcomes (version 2.0) Sustainable increase of whole farm productivity Sufficiently improved on- and off-farm natural resource management 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
