| Innovation Title | Model to assess sustainable intensification in the ‘old cotton basin’ in southern Mali |
| Innovation description | Rapid population growth in sub-Saharan Africa demands an intensification of the agri-cultural production. Accordingly, a model was developed to assess sustainable intensification in the baseline situation and in six subsequent scenarios, based on incremental policy intervention and agricultural intensification strategies, for 411 smallholder farms in the ‘old cotton basin’ in southern Mali. The model checked for different SI indicators from four domains of sustainability. |
