CRP1.1Integrated Agricultural Production Systems for the Poor and Vulnerable in Dry Areas • Led by ICARDA • With: • ICRISAT, ILRI, ICRAF, IWMI, Bioversity, CIAT, CIP, WorldFish, (SSA-CP)
Heterogeneous systems – development challenges • mitigating vulnerability or risk and increasing resilience • environmental sustainability, equity and economic growth as well as agricultural productivity • Food security, poverty reduction and natural resource management important but sequencing depends on: • starting point • surrounding institutional, political and environmental circumstances • Diverse technical interventions, levered and added together • Impact demands: new research • integrating and capacity strengthening mechanisms • influence the delivery of technologies, access to markets, equity and economic balances, and regional, national and local policies
Strategic research themes • SRT1: Approaches and models for strengthening innovation systems, building stakeholder innovation capacity and linking knowledge to policy action • SRT2: Reducing vulnerability and managing risk leading to resilient dryland agro-ecosystems with less vulnerable and improved livelihoods of rural communities • SRT 3 Sustainable intensification for more productive, profitable and diversified dryland agriculture with well-established linkages to markets • SRT4: Measuring impact and cross regional synthesis
