Financed under the call H2020 SFS 35 2019-2020, the projects EWA-BELT, SustInAfrica, SustainSahel, UPSCALE and Soils4Africa, are all experimenting with already existing practices and new innovative methodologies in several countries in Africa to provide a comprehensive map of local, regional and national indicators and guidelines to improve food-security all across the African continent. To this end, the projects focus on several and heterogeneous issues covering the full spectrum of Sustainable Intensification.
