Objectives of the project

  • To identify, develop and adapt legume-based agroecological intensification technologies/ practices as well as innovations for rural energy and labour efficiency for smallholders, especially women.

The main outcomes of LEG4DEV are

  1. Legume-based agroecological intensification scaling for climate-resilient productivity

  2. Legume-based agroecological intensification scaling for food & nutrition security

  3. Legume-based agroecological intensification scaling for water use efficiency

  4. Rural energy and labour-efficiency transformation pathways for legume-based agroecological intensification

  5. Legume-derived enterprises and employment for more resilient rural bioeconomies, and

  6. Identification of policy & institutional options for transformative scaling of legume-based agroecological intensification for enhanced livelihoods and resilience.
