Agroecology Knowledge Hub

New Frontiers in Legume Research

"In Malawi, CRRP support has targeted improvement of selected legume crops, development of seed systems, improved agronomic practices, mechanization to reduce drudgery and increase eciency, and stimulating inclusive markets. In all cases, an overarching aim has been to research how agroecological intensification can contribute to more sustainable agricultural systems. Participatory approaches have been used since the start of the program, but increasing attention is being given to the central role that farmers can play in the research process. The CoP recognizes farmers‘ diverse needs and the importance of identifying options that are best suited to their particular contexts. The tenth annual Southern Africa Community of Practice (CoP) meeting is being held in October 2016 in Malawi. To mark this occasion, this brochure features results and outcomes of four CCRP projects led by organizations in Malawi."
