beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important strategies for farmers to improve their
livelihoods. Young farmers and women especially invest in common beans as a way to build their
assets and secure their family needs. Engaging in an Innovation Platform (IP), these farmers have
learned that they can benefit more from common beans. Farmers observed how the integration of 
legume crops (common beans and mucuna) and livestock for soil fertility management through 
crop rotation, cover crops and manure reduces the dependence on external inputs. 
Combined with draft power animal management this has increased productivity and production of common beans. 
The IP has empowered farmers’ participation in markets.  Farmers became more organized. Increased production 
and productivity allowed farmers to sell larger volumes in bulk.  They now collectively decide at what time they 
would sell their produce and at what price, expecting 50% higher revenues than what they would get by selling individually.  This leaflet illustrates common bean production and market practices generated through demonstrations in the MOREP project. They are useful for farmers in similar environments like in Manica district.","2015-09","published",,,,,"ICRISAT","Patancheru, Telangana, India",,,,,,,,,,,,"TRUE",,,,,,,,"",,"https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?q=allintitle%3A+Common+beans+Benefits+for+farmers+engaging+in+market+oriented+production&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5","pub",,"Austrian Development Agency (ADA)","Developing resilient and profitable rural livelihood systems in semi-arid Mozambique: A conceptual approach (2012-2015) (MOREP)",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
