Summary
This report reviews over 160 papers and reports in sustainable intensification, with a focus on the target countries of Malawi, Ghana, Ethiopia, Laos, Bangladesh and Nepal. Literature has been collected by carrying out searches with using Scopus and Google Scholar with specific key words and combinations, with a focus on target regions and countries as well as social equity. The study looks at the Sustainable Intensification Assessment Framework, which was developed in 2017 to provide guidance and tools to design projects on SI and measure the impacts across the five domains of sustainable intensification: productivity, economic, environment, human condition and social. The study finds very few studies or papers pay attention to all five domains: most papers and projects focus on productivity, followed by the economic domain (often through modelling). Far less attention is given to the environment, human condition and social domain.
