In this policy brief, we highlight what we currently know about the
drivers of agricultural expansion in Zambia and their implications for
food security, livelihoods and biodiversity conservation. Data was
gathered using a suite of rapid-assessment participatory rural appraisal
(PRA) tools during fieldwork conducted in 2019 by the Sentinel project
team in five communities.
