reduction, ISFM (WP2)• Biological control of Aflatoxins in maize and groundnut (WP3)• Integration of vegetables into cereal-legume systems (WP4)• Improving productivity of integrated crop-livestock systems (WP7)• Land, soil, and water management (WP8)
Mali • Improvement of farm productivity and profitability (WP5)• Natural resources management (WP9)
Ghana & Mali • R4D platforms (WP1)• Intensifying livestock and poultry production (WP6)• Improving household nutrition through agricultural and behavioral
changes (WP10)
