Toward sustainable intensification of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa

Across the African continent efforts to intensify agriculture have been limited to specific commodities, locations or particular production schemes. The causes for the widespread failure to overcome low land and labor productivity while maintaining ecosystem services have often be analyzed but remain poorly understood. A social-ecological system approach may help to better understand the complex nature of ecological disadvantages, postcolonial structures, limited connect between producers and consumer markets, low off-farm livelihood opportunities, partial underpopulation and lacking experience with the concept of sustainable production as a major impediment for sustainable intensification of the agricultural sector. Nevertheless, recent success stories in agro-pastoral systems as well as urban vegetable and animal production and associated value chains in West Africa, and in intensive mixed-cropping systems of the Great Lakes Region show the potential of stakeholder-driven agricultural intensification. Proper interpretation of these cases may provide lessons for a more widespread eco-intensification of smallholder agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa.

Tourism development is one of the important channels to realize the economic transformation of closed coal mines. The suitability and modes of tourism development at mining sites of coal resource-based cities are determined by their tourism development potentials. How to measure the tourism development potentials of mine sites and identify their development types has become an urgent research topic in the field of tourism development. In this study, we established a model to measure the tourism development potentials of mine sites from three aspects: mine tourism resources, mine development conditions, and urban development environment; we also completed the empirical research on the tourism development potentials of mine sites in China’s coal resourcebased cities. The results show that mine sites in coal resource-based cities have distinctive tourism development potentials and the top ten cities with the most comprehensive potentials are: Xuzhou, Handan, Zaozhuang, Xingtai, Jiaozuo, Zhangjiakou, Datong, Huainan, Pingdingshan, and Fushun. The spatial pattern of development potentials presents the clustering feature as “two core regions and three centers.” Therefore, the coal resource-based cities should choose their development modes according to their different resource values, development potentials, and spatial patterns. Tourism development plans of mine sites shall be timely formulated and a new mechanism that is guided by government and cooperated by multiple parties should be established for the mine site tourism development, thus to develop the tourism functions of mine sites.
