"Crop intensification is required to meet the food demands of an increasing population. This paper\r\npresents data from three paired scaling-up initiatives to compare the benefits of landscape-based\r\ninterventions over individual plot-level interventions using evidence generated in the Indian\r\nsemi-arid tropics. A range of soil and water conservation interventions were implemented in a\r\ndecentralized manner following the landscape-based approach. The plot-level approach focused\r\nonly on balanced fertilizer application and improved crop cultivars while the landscape-based\r\ninterventions primarily addressed moisture availability, which was the key to reducing risks of crop\r\nfailure besides aiding productivity gain and enhanced land and water-use efficiency. These\r\ninterventions have additionally harvested 50–150 mm of surface runoff and facilitated groundwater\r\nrecharge in 550–800 mm rainfall zones. Individual plot-level interventions also improved the crop\r\nyield significantly over the control plots. However, crop intensification was not achieved due to\r\nlimited moisture availability. Landscape-based interventions produced 100%–300% higher crop\r\nproduction per year, greater income generation (>100%), and improved water productivity.\r\nLandscape-based interventions were also found to be beneficial in terms of reducing soil loss by\r\n75%–90% and improving base flow availability additionally by 20–75 d in a year compared to\r\nuntreated watersheds. With increased moisture availability, fallow lands in respective watersheds\r\nhave been utilized for cultivation, thereby enhancing crop intensification. The findings of the study\r\nprovide critical insights into the design of approaches suitable for scaling-up projects in order to\r\nboth create impact and target the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals."^^ .
