Strategy
The SLP adds value to global crop–livestock research by adopting a holistic approach that ensures synergy among mutually reinforcing interventions. We identify critical gaps in food–feed and related natural resources research and bring together the complementary expertise needed to address them. We tackle complex issues relating to the productivity and sustainability of agriculture in areas with large numbers of smallholder beneficiaries. At the same time, we identify ways of improving the policy environment for these innovations to be accessible to their end users. Lastly, we seek to maximize the impact of the work we support by developing effective partnerships and building local capacity to scale out the results of our research.
Details of our 2009-2011 strategy and programme are given in:
2009-2011 Medium-Term Plan
Contributing to the development of the mutually reinforcing interventions for the key crop-livestock systems is the SLP framework for improving food-feed crops:
