Goal, purpose
• Increase agric. productivity growth, economic growth, food production, food and nutrition security, NRM and reduce poverty: in FtF areas (Gvt/CAADP)
• Increase productivity of maize-legume-livestock production systems, resilience and agro-ecosystems services
• Services: provisioning food/non-food; water; soil conservation, soil nutrient supply and cycling; soil health and structure; carbon sequestration; biodiversity; climate change

Constraints: Crops: Gender
• Information constraints: farmers, extension, seed companies, agro-dealers, social planners
• Certified seed of improved varieties: availability, access and affordability/profitability, quality
• Natural factors: infertile soils, erratic rainfall, pests and diseases, weeds (striga); inorganic fertilizers; irrigation
• Extension personnel, methods (messages/media)
• Mechanization: hand-hoe, ox plough, power tillers
• Marketing: efficiency, bargaining power

www.iita.org
Constraints: Crops: Gender
• Post-harvest management, value addition (storage, processing)
• Credit: collateral
• Transportation/access roads
• Policies (marketing grades and standards, variety registration, foundation seed, input quality control, subsidies)

• Integrating research products and development interventions generates synergies among market access, on-farm productivity and NRM
• Improves delivery of services to farmers
• Increases adoption by farmers
• Generates impact on outcomes of interest farm level (efficiency, yields, profits, NRM)
• Generates impact on welfare (incomes, consumption, nutrition, health, gender, NRM)
• Generates impact at aggregate level : spillovers

Operationalization
Task forces
• Research area: Diagnostics & characterization & gender; integration of components& gender; value chains & gender; scaling out & gender
• Research issues: Maize-legumes-vegetables; +livestock-tree-fodder; NRM-plant health; Scaling out (Gender cross cutting)
Design in continental context

Conclusions
• Systems-based, multidisciplinary, multicentre, multi-stakeholder approach focusing on maize-legumes-livestock to improving livelihoods in FTF area
• Research to test, address multiple, interacting, multilevel constraints building on-going activities
• Innovative research methods (RCT)
• Expected impacts at large scale through partnerships
