Abstract
The project tests, validates and disseminates proven
and new technologies to assist smallholder farmers in
WANA increase their yields and stabilize wheat-legume
production system for food security in the face of
increasing climate variability. Using participating WANA
countries as a platform, the initiative will extend
successes to other regions as international public
goods.
The project has a three-fold objective:
• Promoting proven technologies for wheat-legume
rotation systems by scaling out of improved crop
varieties and associated production technologies
• Identifying and testing new technologies in
response to new challenges and conditions
• Combining and demonstrating new higher-yield,
biotic and abiotic stress tolerant varieties with
other interventions, such as integrated pest
management and improved crop and soil water
management.
