'Transforming African agriculture through sustainable intensification'Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation

It lists events, links to communication resources, links to reports etc, and has various sorts of intermediate outputs and meeting reports etc. The official outlet for information about the project, for general audiences, is the website: [[http://www.africa-rising.net]]).//

[[media type="custom" key="25107888" align="right" width="240" height="240"]]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 (see map):

* [[west_africa| West Africa: Sustainable intensification of cereal-based farming systems - led by IITA]]
* [[east_southern_africa| East and Southern Africa: Sustainable intensification of maize-legume-livestock integrated farming systems - led by IITA]]
* [[ethiopia_highlands| Ethiopian Highlands: Sustainable intensification of crop-livestock systems - led by ILRI]]

Typologies

=Farm typologies in Africa RISING=

----

'''Introduction'''
Africa RISING is testing alternative technology options with heterogeneous populations of farmers that will likely respond to the technologies differently. The identification of different farmers' types within the program is therefore crucial to achieve the following goals:
* ======'''Identify suitable farms to target innovations (ex-ante)''': we assume that not all innovations are appropriate for all farms, and that structuring into groups would support the identification of technology-specific suitable farming systems.======
* ======'''Scale out innovations''': on the basis of the heterogeneity in a population we can formulate extension messages, policies and other incentive schemes to further spread the use of designed innovations.======
* ======'''Assess agro-economic effects''' '''(ex-post)''' Explaining trends and farmer ‘behavior’ (functional characteristics, including sustainable intensification indicators) and verification of the agro-economic effects of the interventions for different farm types.======

IFPRI produced five typology reports, one for each AR country, that use the harmonized ARBES data (Africa RISING Baseline Evaluation Surveys) to produce statistical typologies of the farmers in each project area. Each report describes the methodology used to derive the groups as well as the main characteristic of each of the obtained types. These results await further validation and testing from the research teams.

==Africa RISING typologies==
Here we want to provide an overview of the different typologies used:
