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 701 $aPretty$b Jules N$089208 701 $aToulmin$b Camilla$0146859 701 $aWilliams$b Stella B$01876870 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963612603321 996 $aSustainable intensification$94488740 997 $aUNINA
