bibo:abstract "In semi‐arid Zimbabwe, multiple constraints impact maize‐based crop‐livestock systems creating a\r\npoverty trap. These barriers include low soil fertility, variable climates, weak knowledge support,\r\nand lack of markets. Conventional technical options are insufficient to improve smallholder\r\nlivelihoods. Given the diversity in resource endowments and livelihood sources identifying\r\nintensification options that fit circumstances remains problematic. In this paper we demonstrate\r\nco‐designing approaches (i.e. with multiple stakeholders) for two sites i.e. Gwanda and Nkayi\r\ndistricts, of contrasting agro‐ecological potential. We engaged low, medium and high resource\r\nendowed farmers to (i) co‐design plausible improved scenarios that included incremental changes\r\n‐ testing currently promoted technologies for crop‐livestock intensification and drastic change ‐\r\nassuming that removing barriers will encourage investments towards resilient and profitable\r\nfarming; and (ii) We quantified benefits and trade offs from alternative integrated actions using an\r\nintegrated whole farm modelling approach (APSFArm‐LivSim‐TOAMD). At both sites incremental\r\nchange options improved food security through better‐integrated cereal‐legume‐livestock\r\nsystems; income effects were however limited. Drastic change options achieved more substantial\r\nimprovements in productivity, food and income generation: farmers set more land in use, with\r\nmore diversified forage, food and cash crops and adapted cultivars, organic and mineral fertilizer\r\napplication, small‐scale mechanization for ploughing and product processing and improved\r\nlivestock management. Packages tailored to farm situations had larger benefits on food security\r\nand income than blanket applications. Recommendations that take into account the socioeconomic\r\ncontext and policies are key and need to be communicated in more effective ways for\r\nenabling more sustainable futures for smallholders in Zimbabwe."^^xsd:string;
