ISPC Commentary on the Proposal for CRP 3.5 Grain Legumes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
CRP 3.5 is a comprehensive proposal built around combined research on eight grain legumes (GLs) – groundnut, soybean, chickpea, cowpea, common bean, pigeon pea, lentil, and faba bean – proposed by four CGIAR Centres (ICARDA, ICRISAT, IITA and CIAT) and by several NARES (India, Brazil, Turkey and Ethiopia). These crops are important dietary staples and sources of income for farmers in many, low income, food-deficit countries. Moreover, GLs can make important contributions to the nutritional intake of the poor.
