year 2019. In addition to quantitative impact assessment, this publication brings to
light various stakeholders’ own words about the kind of benefits they have made
thanks to the TL projects. Research institutions, management and technical staff,
extension services, NGOs, public and private seed companies, agro-dealers, farmer
cooperatives, farmer groups, individual seed entrepreneurs, farmers, women farmers,
processors, farm implement makers, middlemen, and traders have all shared
their unique impact stories for being part of TL families.
From poor knowledge of recently developed legume technologies, most communities
in the project areas of the target countries have been widely exposed and
have a very good knowledge and use of newly released varieties of groundnut, common
bean, cowpea and chickpea. This allowed them to increase crop productivity
and production, improve resilience to advert weather conditions, and enhance family
welfare through various livelihood assets such as ownership of land, houses,
transport means, market connections, social recognition, food security, children
education, health care, etc. The huge smiles on different faces pictured in this publication
is illustrative.","2020","published",,,,,"Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd","Singapore","105-106","2",,,,,"doi:10.1007/978-981-15-0845-5_9",,,,,"TRUE","978-981-15-0844-8",,"Sowing Legume Seeds, Reaping Cash",,,,,"","https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-0845-5_9","","",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
