Welcome to the wiki of the Sustainability Working Group, a forum for online discussion of "sustainability" in the context of Africa RISING. Topics of discussion so far include:
* a useful working definition of "Sustainable Intensification"
* development of sustainability metrics -- including a draft sustainability index and associated indicators -- that can be applied across the program.
