TL;DR: In this article, sustainable intensification of agricultural systems offers synergistic opportunities for the co-production of agricultural and natural capital outcomes, but system redesign is essential to deliver optimum outcomes as ecological and economic conditions change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring sustainable intensification in smallholder agroecosystems: A review
Alex Smith,Sieglinde S. Snapp,Regis Chikowo,Peter J. Thorne,Mateete A. Bekunda,Jerry D. Glover +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic, qualitative review of the literature identified sustainable intensification indicators, with a primary focus on African smallholder farming systems, and concluded that, while numerous metrics for evaluating SI systems exist, many often-cited indicators lack strong sets of associated metrics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muluneh Minta,Muluneh Minta,Kibebew Kibret,Peter J. Thorne,Tassew Nigussie,Lisanework Nigatu +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the rate and pattern of land use and land cover changes in Dendi-Jeldu hilly-mountainous areas in the central Ethiopia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on intentionally-formed collaborative groups within specific geographic territories, focusing on integrated pest management, forests, land, water, pastures, support services, innovation platforms, and small-scale systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping soil erosion hotspots and assessing the potential impacts of land management practices in the highlands of Ethiopia
Lulseged Tamene,Zenebe Adimassu,J. Ellison,Tesfaye Yaekob,Kifle Woldearegay,Kindu Mekonnen,Peter J. Thorne,Quang Bao Le +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed a modelling interface developed based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation adjusted by the sediment delivery ratio to map the spatial distribution of net soil loss and identify priority areas of intervention.
