Join us as we share the main results, innovations and lessons learned from the SustInAfrica research project, highlighting how sustainable intensification approaches can improve productivity, resilience, ecosystem services, and market development in West and North Africa, and how these results can be taken forward into policy and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SustInAfrica is an EU-funded Horizon 2020 research project which aims to empower West and North African smallholder farmers and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to facilitate sustainable intensification of African farming systems, and to develop and deploy a reference framework on agricultural practices and technologies. Through seven interlinked work packages (WPs), the project is developed in 5 North and West African countries: Egypt, Tunisia, Niger, Ghana, and Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project's overarching approach is to assess the environmental, economic and social impacts of tested practices and technologies, and to develop strategies and sustainable business models that enable their scaling and adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
