1. OfficialopeningMr.MosesMwale, theDirectorattheZambiaAgricultureResearch Institute(ZARI),officiallyopened the workshop. He provided some background to the workshop in which he mademention that ICRAF isanot-for-profitorganization that improvespeople’s livesbyprovidinginformation and applying scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture and theenvironment.He further added that the engagement of ICRAFwith theGovernment of theRepublicofZambiacanbetracedbacktothe1980swhenthethematicfocuswasAgroforestry.The partnership between ICRAF and the Government through ZARI and the Department ofAgriculture (DoA) remains strong and this is evidenced by the following two projects beingimplementedforexampleinSolwezi,NorthWesternProvince.

• Thefirstoneis“Developingvaluechaininnovationplatformforfoodsecurity”andthegoal for this project is to identify the drivers that support scalable establishment ofeffectiveandequitableinnovationplatformsthatenhancefoodsecuritythroughgreaterengagementofsmallholderfarmerswithmarkets.

• The secondone is “Bringingevidence tobearonnegotiating eco-system service andlivelihoodtrade-offsinsustainableagriculturalintensification(SAI)inZambia”.

2.2IntroductiontotheprojectMr. Howard Tembo introduced the project, including the aim, activities and conceptualframework.Hementioned that inZambia, thisproject started in2016and the focuswas toanswer key questions such as: What is Sustainable Agricultural Intensification? From thedifferentresponsesobtainedfromdifferentpartnersinmeetingsheldtodate,SAIisaconceptdevelopedinresponsetotheneedforapproachesthatwouldincreasefoodproductiontomeetthedemandofthegrowingpopulationwhileconservingcriticaleco-systemservices.Hefurtherstatedthatthekeypremiseisthatincreasedfoodproductionshouldnotleadtoencroachmentintoprotectedbio-diversityhotspots.Headdedthatthechangesweareseekingtocontributetothroughthisprojectaretobuildaninterdisciplinary research programme to increase the uptake of context-appropriate SAIinnovations inEastandsouthernAfrica throughevidencegeneration,dataanalyticsand thedevelopmentofinnovativetoolsforstakeholderengagementwithevidence.Headdedthatthisprojectisemphasisingtheneedtogenerateevidencesothatwecanusethistoengagepolicymakers.Mr. Tembo stated that the Sustainable Agricultural Intensification Research and Learning inAfrica(SAIRLA)programmeisaUKDepartmentofAgricultureDevelopmentfundinitiativethatseekstoaddressoneofthemostretractableproblemsfacingsmallholderfarmers inAfrica,howtoengagethemarketeconomyanddeliversustainableintensificationofagriculturethatavoidsnegativeimpactsontheenvironment.HeaddedthatthisprojectisundertakeninthreedifferentcountriesbyICRAFwithothernationalpartners,inEthiopia,TanzaniaandZambia.

StatementTwo:SustainableAgricultural Intensification(SAI) involvesTrade-offsacrossoureconomic,social,environmentalandculturaldimensions

Mostparticipantsagreedwiththisstatement.Someofthereasonsincluded:• Trade-offs are definite because we have to look at the socio-economic as well as the

environmentalaspectsintheagro-ecologicalregionsinwhichweareworkingsoweneedtohavesomekindoftrade-offsaswelookatSAI

Someparticipantsagreedstronglyandthecommentswere:• Themajorreasonwehave lowadoption levelsofSAI isatrade-off.Socially forexample,

there is a situation where there is a tragedy of the commons where “everyone ownseverythingbutnooneownsanything”

3. Stakeholder Approach to Risk Informed and Evidence BasedDecisionMaking(SHARED)

Dr.NeelygaveanintroductionandoverviewoftheStakeholderApproachtoEvidenceBasedandRiskInformedDecisionMaking(SHARED)methodology.WhatisSHARED?The SHAREDmethodology is a tailored process that builds interaction between people andaccessibleevidencefordecisionsthatyieldsustainableimpacts.It isverymuchaboutfacilitatingontheintegrationofdifferentsectors,different institutionsand different knowledge systems and perspective.
