'''Sustainable intensification of crop-livestock systems to improve food security and farm income diversification in the Ethiopian highlands'''
'''Project Design Workshop'''
'''30 January - 2 February 2012, Addis Ababa Ethiopia'''

'''World cafe on gaps - nutrition'''

This workshop provides an opportunity for a broad group of important stakeholders to both learn about the project plans and to share their views on expectations from and opportunities for synergies with the project (days 1 and 2) and for the core project team to finalize the project details (days 3 and 4).

'''How to integrate nutrition in the work?'''
# Conduct formative research to identify nutrition problems, livestock, roots...
## Identify ongoing projects, nutrition indicators, intra-household food distribution patterns
## Assess resources and nutrition knowledge (feeding practices, intra-household practices, diet practices).
# Co-evaluate high nutrient varieties (QPM, legumes, fruits, roots, livestock, medicinal plants)
# Develop enhanced varieties (e.g. protein maize) and do pilot studies in the community
# Identify partners and collaborate with them to assist on nutrition education, to develop whole packages;
# Increase sustainable intensification to create opportunities for diversification and intercropping and household income generation.
# Consider gender implications when selecting and implementing nutrition interventions.
# Consider health and nutrition implications of water availability, storage and use.

Challenges:
* Lack of nutrition expertise involved in sustainable intensification efforts;
* Incorporating nutrition during implementation.
* Developing a strategy that addresses consumption at household level.
* Do we focus on diversity or specialisation?

Opportunities:
* Link up with other organisations e.g. WFP, UNICEF, local NGOs, national and regional health bureaus. For nutrition and health, ICRAF.
