ESA Rev& Plan 2021 Presentations
- Day ONE [14 September]-Review [progress with implementation of ESA workplan sub-activities
- 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
- Activity 1.1.1: Assess and iteratively improve resilient crop-crop and crop-livestock integration systems
- Activity 1.1.2: Evaluate and implement pathways that are effective at improving access to seeds and clonal materials of modern varieties of legumes, cereals, vegetables, forages, and livestock
- Output 1.2 Demand-driven, labor-saving, and gender-sensitive research products to reduce drudgery while increasing labor efficiency in the production cycle piloted for relevant typologies in target areas
- Activity 1.2.1: Support local partners through training on appropriate drudgery-reducing technology delivery. No sub-activity was planned for 2019-2020.
- Output 1.3. Tools (including ICT-based) and approaches for disseminating recommendations in relation to above research products, integrated in capacity development
- Activity 1.3.1:Conduct extrapolation domain analysis based on GIS, agroecology, and crop model-generated information to establish the potential of technologies for geographical reach
- Outcome 2. Natural resource integrity and resilience to climate change enhanced for the target communities and agroecologies
- Output 2.1. Demand-driven research products for enhancing soil, land, and water resource management to reduce household/community vulnerability and land degradation piloted in priority agroecologies
- Activity 2.1.1: Characterize current practices in ESA through identifying formal and informal arrangements for access to and use of water and land resources
- Sub-activity 2.1.1.1: Assessing buffer and adaptive capacity to harness resilience of different farm types]] - J.Groot
- Output 2.2 Innovative options for soil, land and water management in selected farming systems demonstrated at strategically located learning sites
- Activity 2.2.1: Set up demonstration and learning sites in target ESA communities
- Outcome 3. Food and feed safety, nutritional quality, and income security of target smallholder families improved equitably (within households)
- Output 3.1 Demand-driven research products to reduce postharvest losses and improve food quality and safety piloted in target areas
- Activity 3.1.1: Conduct packaging and delivery of postharvest technologies through community and development partnerships with an iterative review, refining, and follow-up
