Assessing economic, social and environmental impacts
Poverty Level 50% reduction of abject poor (781 to 390)
(income for child education, basic health care, nutrition)
Poverty reduction

Environmental Effects
Indicator Maize Production Tomato Production
Soil degradation
Soil degradation as a resultof increased use of land and fertilizer
Environmental hazards caused by increased use of insecticides
Soil erosion Soil erosion caused byclearance of new land
Pollution of water sources due to increased use of insecticides
Natural resource degradation
Deforestation caused by land Clearance
Air pollution caused by insecticidesspraying
18
Effects on social well-being and poverty
Indicator Maize Production Tomato Production
Number of Primary School Classrooms
Increase of Classrooms by 57% from 7 to 11.
Increase of classrooms by 65% from 7 to 12.
Access to basic health needs

Social effects - Winners and losers
Winners Maize and tomato
producers Women and youth School-age children Malnourished children Abject poor households Traders/stockists Local authorities
Losers The landless Environmental activists Groups/individuals
without linkages to agricultural based activities
20
Secondary effects (1)
Increased maize production --- increased income --- poverty reduction.
(Increased tomato production will have the same if not a larger effect)
Reduction of poverty and positive changes in social well-being will lead to increased investments in economic activities which will lead to increased resources use as well as trade expansion.
Increased income, more use of natural resources, and increased use of agro-chemicals --- a negative effect on the environment --- harmful to economic growth
--- counter productive to poverty reduction.
