Abstract

Drylands hold immense potential for sustainable food production, providing a viable opportunity to combat desertification, expand arable land and meet the evergrowing global demand for food. Essential to this transformative journey are dryland food legumes, like chickpea and pigeonpea. These resilient pulses breathe life into barren landscapes, fostering fertile grounds and ensuring not only the nutritional well-being but also the economic stability of dryland communities.
