Description Managing trade-offs for ‘do no harm’ outcomes is central to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
and requires an understanding of impact processes within agri-food systems. However, agricultural programming
continues to rely on single point interventions framed by earlier development paradigms at odds with the systemic change goals of the SDGs. The implications of these colliding paradigms are explored using an agri-food
systems lens to highlight trade-offs in interventions for pro-poor value chains, nutrition-sensitive value chains
and greening of value chains. Analysis reveals problematic assumptions and limited supporting evidence and
points to conflicting logics and targets that require societal negotiations about goals and priorities. Steps are
outlined to embed a ‘do no harm’ principle in intervention design and evaluation.
