Description The Africa RISING research for development agenda is guided by the principles of sustainable intensification (SI) and farming systems. SI refers to efficient use of resources for agriculture that results in increased productivity on the same amount of land (Pretty, 1997; Reardon et al., 1996). A farming system refers to a population of individual farm systems that may have widely different resource bases, enterprise patterns, household livelihoods, and constraints (Giller, 2013). Africa RISING focuses on efficient use of
resources for agriculture, to produce more food on the same amount of land, but with reduced negative environmental or social impacts. This approach is necessary given the diverse farming systems of East and Southern Africa (ESA), which are predominantly smallholder-based.
