Legume Lab holds four Regional Stakeholder Convenings focused on identifying gaps in the legume system to drive research priorities
From the April 2024 Newsletter
Over the last six weeks, the Legume Systems Innovation Lab held four regional stakeholder convenings (RSCs) to address gaps in regional legume value chains in Africa and Central America. The gaps identified will drive funding priorities which will be released as request for proposals (RFP) in the upcoming month.
The program expects to fund legume research projects aligned with the Legume Systems Innovation Lab goals of best agronomic practices and services, targeted varietal scaling and development, inclusive inputs and market systems, and climate change adaptation and mitigation as they relate to legume value chains.
Over 350 legume stakeholders from Central America, East, Southern, and West Africa joined the day-long RSCs. Recording of all the events can be found at the link below.
