Project level outcomes
Outcome 1Increased food and cash crop production in
maize –legume – livestock farming systems
Outcome 2Improved land productivity and agro-ecology
robustness support productive and sustainable agriculture
Pre-conditions in action site
Access to improved seed, innovations, information, markets
Farmer organizations are functional and supportive
Existing land tenure systems support farm to landscape level interventions
Government policy is supportive of investment in agriculture
Project outputs
Pre-conditions amongst project partners

Achievements• Focus on RO1: Situation analysis to set base for RO2site selection; establishment of R4D/Innovation Platforms; baseline surveys; detailed farming systems analysis for construction of farm typologies; identification of constraints and entry points for intensification; analysis of constraints to adoption• RO2: Integrated systems improvementsolid partnerships established for research implementation; demonstration of technologies and their combinations for SI (crops, livestock, land/water management, post-harvest protection and value addition); most appropriate technologies highlighted for further study and potential dissemination; identification and inclusion of emerging research challenges (e.g. MLND)Stepwise approach in terms of technologies and sites
• RO3: Scaling and deliveryassessment of scalability of technologies (documentation in progress); partnerships with development partners; R4D platforms as vehicle for scaling and dissemination established; regular field days
•RO4: M&Ereporting against 8 FtF indicators for project impact; discussion on SI indicators initiated; custom indicators established in log frame
