has been very weak and hence calls for effective, more coherent, and wellarticulated&#13;
design of technology and seed delivery systems of food legume crops.&#13;
The Tropical Legumes projects responded to this need.&#13;
This book shares impact stories and testimonies from various value chain actors&#13;
who were part of the Tropical Legumes (TL) projects over the past 12 years. It presents&#13;
the experiences of a diversity of actors within the grain legume value chains,&#13;
with a focus on groundnut and common beans in Tanzania and Uganda, groundnut&#13;
and cowpea in Nigeria, and groundnut in Ghana. All actors involved shared their&#13;
feeling of being part of decade-long development project families. National agricultural&#13;
research institutes, knowledge brokering organizations, NGOs, public seed&#13;
companies, private seed companies, agro-dealers, individual seed entrepreneurs,&#13;
farm implement makers, farmer cooperatives, farmer groups, individual farmers,&#13;
women farmers, middlemen, processors, traders, and consumers were all involved&#13;
in this experience. This book provides learning opportunities for development workers,&#13;
technical staff, and project managers. It will also inspire development workers&#13;
and project managers to share their own experiences for others to learn from.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Smallholder Farmers</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Food Legumes</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Legume Crops</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Sub-Saharan Africa</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2020-03</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Book</mods:genre></mods:mods>
