Introduction Entry points for sustainable intensification:• Farm components: crop and animal yield gaps• Farm yield gaps: configurations of components and inputs• Interactions with social-ecological and economic environment:
networks, markets, resources
Integrated farming systems analysis needed:• Context-specific• On-farm testing• Embedded in communities

Introduction Relations with farmer- and community-oriented, on-farm
and on-station research:• Basket of technologies: local research on crops, animals, etc.• Quantification of input-output relations• Engage in an inform stakeholder / community discussions

3 regions (North, Upper West, Upper East) 25 intervention communities 80 HHs surveyed per region, grouping per region
Farmer types grouped on the basis of:• Resource endowment (land, livestock, assets)• Production orientation (subsistence, consumption, market)• Source of income (on-farm vs. off-farm)

Continue and underpin the evaluation of entry points
Compare findings between countries, incl. Tanzania and Malawi
Strengthen relations with farmer- and community-oriented, on-farm and station research
Plans for continuation of systems analysis with two PhD students
