Africa RISING ESA Project Review and Planning Meeting
REVIEW PRESENTATIONS DAY ONE [14 September 2021]

Outcome 1. Productivity, diversity, and income of crop‒livestock systems in selected agroecologies enhanced under climate

variability

Output 1.1 Demand-driven, climate-smart, integrated crop‒livestock research products (contextualized technologies) for improved productivity, diversified diets, and higher income piloted for specific typologies in target agroecologies
