Hillbur, Per (2013) The Africa RISING research sites in Tanzania. Opportunities and challenges to sustainable intensification and institutional innovation. Background paper, July 2013.
Hillbur, Per (2013) Research on institutional
innovation and scaling issues in Africa RISING. Draft research plan, August 2013
Why does not adoption occur?
What is the potential for sustainable intensification?
What has actually changed?
Population growth steady stimulates change challenges traditional land use patterns and livelihoods.
Target: Continue titles and land certificates process, livestock integration, ISFM, zero-grazing, etc
Challenge Babati
Farm household level >< Field (plot) level >< Landscape level
Target: Land use plans, landscape scale focus, pigeon pea intercropping
Challenge Kiteto
Climate change, soil fertility, soil conservation, labor availability
Targets: Land use plans, titling, landscape analysis, post-harvest technologies and mgmt, drought-resistant varieties,labour intensification, livestock integration
Challenge Kongwa
Three functions (Leeuwis and Aarts 2011):
network buildingsocial learningconflict management
How do we support ‘socially acceptable transformation’, e g how can platforms work in a way that is gender transformative?

Three categories of output: PRODUCTION, INCOME and NUTRITION (The Montpellier Panel 2013)
Support to interventions that target women as beneficiaries, is a support to higher productivity, improved health and nutrition status, and good governance
