Abstract

The CRP-GLDC envisions to increase the productivity, profitability, resilience and marketability of critical and nutritious grain legume (chickpea, cowpea, pigeonpea, groundnut, lentil, soybean) and cereal (sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet) crops grown in the semi-arid and sub-humid dryland agroecologies of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia (SA), where poverty, malnutrition, climate change and soil degradation are most acute. Improved innovation capacities within agri-food systems of key cereal and legume crops are expected to enable coherent and integrated research and development, production and market and policy reforms that deliver resilience, inclusion, poverty reduction, nutritional security, environmental sustainability and economic growth.
