2007/2008年的粮食危机，加上人口迅速增长，以及气候变化的不确定性，促使非洲农业转型重新回到发展主流。“气候智能型农业”和“可持续集约化”的新叙述是这一当代转型的基础。我们提出了马拉维，坦桑尼亚和赞比亚的农业政策和生计的政治经济学分析，并利用它来评估实现“可持续和包容性的集约化”的挑战。我们发现，几乎没有证据表明农业机构有能力实现可持续的农业集约化，或者农业政策推动农业生计的变化，使其更具可持续性或包容性。
The food crisis of 2007/8, alongside rapid population growth, and the uncertainties of climate change propelled African agricultural transformation back into the development mainstream. New narratives of 'climate-smart agriculture' and 'sustainable intensification' underlie this contemporary transformation. We present a political economy analysis of agricultural policy and livelihoods in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia, and use this to assess the challenge of achieving 'sustainable and inclusive intensification'. We find little evidence that agricultural institutions have the capacity to deliver sustainable intensification in agriculture, or that agricultural policy drives changes in agricultural livelihoods that will make them either more sustainable or inclusive.
