Improving productivity alone is often not enough for farmers to adopt sustainable intensification practices. Establishing links with input and output markets is indispensable. The STEP-UP project, coordinated by IITA and the Plant Production Systems group of Wageningen University, combines sustainable intensification of farming systems with a value chain approach to provide such linkages. The project works on mango value chains in Kenya, and cooking banana value chains in Uganda. Through participatory scenario development and impact assessment the project aims at discussing and converging the views of different stakeholders along the value chain, to be able to identify the most promising interventions enabling (agricultural) transformation pathways towards such a future.
