\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
In Southwestern Uganda, the demand for food has increased with increase in population growth, but producing enough food with extensive agriculture becomes challenging due to scarcity of agricultural land. The situation calls for change in policies and practices to address this problem. Recently, sustainable crop intensification has got recognition as a strategy to address the low crop productivity. However, analysis is lacking on the effectiveness of sustainable crop intensification in addressing the challenges related to land scarcity. Such information could have strengthened the efforts of the government and development partners towards increasing crop productivity in a sustainable manner. This paper is based on qualitative data collected between September 2014 and May 2015 using in"=depth interviews in Kabale, Kanungu and Kisoro districts, Southwestern Uganda. Results reveal that sustainable crop intensification is perceived as a relevant strategy to increase crop productivity in the available land resources. However, farmers and agricultural experts raise concerns over the practical implementation of the strategy due to inequitable access to land, lack of networks for farm inputs, dominance of labour intensive farming practices, and poor development of agribusiness. In particular, customary land tenure systems fail to provide equitable access to land resources. For that reason, interventions aiming at increasing crop productivity often benefit farmers that have better access to land and other resources than poorer farmers. Besides, the need for appropriate mechanisms to prevent degradation of land resources has not got enough emphasis in the interventions. Thus finding mechanisms to enhance equitable benefit sharing from the interventions such as creating job opportunities in agribusiness development is required. Increasing crop productivity also needs to be accompanied with mechanisms to prevent degradation of land resources to realise the sustainability of the interventions.}
