Sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in the Central African Highlands: The need for institutional innovation (2016, background): “Additional NRM innovation such as the introduction of perennial tree crops systemswith deep-rooted vegetative cover year-round could be needed to combat soil erosion (Vanlauwe et al., 2014).”
Prospects for Agricultural Sustainable Intensification: A Review of Research (2019, background): “Creating production gaps, different agricultural production methods affect natural resources, especially for heterogeneous small farm landscapes [29].”
Beyond the agroecological and sustainable agricultural intensification debate: Is blended sustainability the way forward? (2018, background): “Vanlauwe et al. (2014).”
Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers’ fields in northern Nigeria (2016, background): “As the otential to expand agricultural land is limited in many areas with igh population densities, sustainable intensification of agriculural production is crucial (Pretty et al., 2011; Garnett et al., 2013; anlauwe et al., 2014a).”
De-mystifying family farming: Features, diversity and trends across the globe (2015, background): “When inputs are not available, continuous cropping leads to soil depletion, falling yields, and thus lower income and marginalisation (lower left, Fig. 2; Vanlauwe et al., 2014).”
