| Project abstract | As part of the US government’s Feed the Future initiative to address global hunger and food security issues in sub-Saharan Africa, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is supporting three multi-stakeholder agricultural research projects to sustainably intensify key African farming systems. The overall aim is to transform agricultural systems through sustainable intensification projects in three regions of Africa: - Sustainable Intensification of Cereal-based Farming Systems in the Guinea Savannah Zone of West Africa – led by IITA - Sustainable intensification of crop-livestock systems to improve food security and farm income diversification in the Ethiopian highlands – led by ILRI - Sustainable Intensification of Cereal‐based Farming Systems in East and Southern Africa – led by IITA |
