These pressures are likely to be substantial across Africa, where countries will have to find innovative ways to boost crop and livestock production to avoid becoming more reliant on imports and food aid. Sustainable agricultural intensification producing more output from the same area of land while reducing the negative environmental impacts represents a solution for millions of African farmers. This volume presents the lessons learned fromforty sustainable agricultural intensification programmes intwenty countries across Africa, commissioned as part of the UK Government's Foresight project. Through detailed case studies, the authors of each chapter examine how to develop productive and sustainable agricultural systems and how to scale up these systems to reach many more millions of people in the future. Themes covered include crop improvements, agroforestry and soil conservation, conservation agriculture, integrated pest management, horticulture, livestock and fodder crops, aquaculture, and novel policies and partnerships. 517 3 $aIncreasing productivity in African food and agricultural systems 606 $aSustainable agriculture$zAfrica 606 $aAgricultural systems$zAfrica 615 0$aSustainable agriculture 615 0$aAgricultural systems 676 $a338.16096 702 $aPretty$b Jules$4edt 702 $aToulmin$b Camilla$4edt 702 $aWilliams$b Stella$4edt 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800092403321 996 $aSustainable Intensification$93874303 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02324oas 2200829 a 450 001 9910895779503321 005 20251105213014.0 011 $a2182-9721 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2494557-2 035 $a(OCoLC)502473123 035 $a(CONSER) 2013263447 035 $a(CKB)1000000000717888 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000717888 100 $a20090709a19909999 uy 101 0 $afre 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aInterca?mbio 210 $aPorto $cNu?cleo de Estudos Franceses da Universidade do Porto$d[1990]- 300 $aIssued by: Nu?cleo de Estudos Franceses da Universidade do Porto, 1990-1991; Instituto da Estudos Franceses da Universidad do Porto, 1992- 311 08$a0873-366X 517 1 $aRevue interca?mbio 517 1 $aRevista interca?mbio 606 $aFrench literature$vPeriodicals 606 $aLitte?rature franc?aise$vPe?riodiques 606 $aCivilization$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862898 606 $aFrench literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00934688 607 $aFrance$xCivilization$vPeriodicals 607 $aFrance$xCivilisation$vPe?riodiques 607 $aFrance$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJd8gD4vdtqQMdQHvYqbBP 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aFrench literature 615 6$aLitte?rature franc?aise 615 7$aCivilization. 615 7$aFrench literature. 686 $a800$a405$2zdbs 712 02$aUniversidade do Porto.$bNu?cleo de Estudos Franceses. 712 02$aUniversidade do Porto.$bInstituto de Estudos Franceses. 801 0$bSNU 801 1$bSNU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bTXA 801 2$bQE2 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bDEBBG 801 2$bGWDNB 801 2$bCUS 801 2$bGBVCP 801 2$bTXA 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAU@ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bSTF 801 2$bVT2 801 2$bCNMTR 801 2$bSFB 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAUD 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bUAB 801 2$bCRU 801 2$bOCLCQ 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910895779503321 996 $aInterca?mbio$91920562 997 $aUNINA
