为了养活撒哈拉以南非洲迅速增长的人口，必须增加农业生产，那里的许多家庭目前从事的是低投入、自给自足的农业。扩大粮食生产的努力可能包括农业集约化，以提高现有农田的生产力，需要整体框架来定量评估集约化和其他发展层面之间的权衡和协同作用。除了有据可查的与环境和经济问题的相互作用之外，集约化与人类健康的复杂关系应该在任何旨在促进粮食安全的框架中占据首要地位。虽然强化可以导致营养状况的改善，但忽视潜在不利健康影响的来源，包括水源污染和直接接触农业投入或环境病原体，可能会破坏预期的成果。协调目标将需要跨学科团队应用框架，将量化风险评估、环境生命周期评估和经济模型等工具整合在一起，在考虑相互依存和不确定性的同时，全面评估共同指标中潜在的不同战略。在当地执行伙伴的帮助下，这些小组将具备良好的条件，能够制定有效促进粮食安全和保护人类健康的综合干预措施，同时考虑到当地在发展多个层面上的制约因素和机会。
Increased agricultural production will be necessary to feed rapidly growing populations in sub-Saharan Africa, where many households currently practice low-input, subsistence farming. Efforts to expand food production will likely include agricultural intensification to enhance productivity of existing cropland, and holistic frameworks are needed to quantitatively evaluate trade-offs and synergies between intensification and other dimensions of development. Beyond well-documented interactions with environmental and economic issues, intensification’s complex relationship with human health should take a position of primary importance in any framework designed to advance food security. While intensification can lead to improvements in nutritional status, neglecting sources of potential adverse health impacts, including water source contamination and direct contact with agricultural inputs or environmental pathogens, may undermine prospective gains. Harmonizing goals will require interdisciplinary teams applying frameworks that integrate tools such as quantitative risk assessment, environmental life cycle assessment, and economic models to comprehensively evaluate potentially dissimilar strategies across common metrics while accounting for interdependencies and uncertainties. With local implementation partners, these teams will be well-equipped to develop holistic interventions that effectively promote food security and protect human health while considering local constraints and opportunities across multiple dimensions of development.
