Concluding Remarks: The Tropical Legumes Projects Empowered Communities In A Wide Variety Of Assets. 330 $aThis open access book shares impact stories ? testimonies from various value chain actors who have been part of the Tropical Legumes (TL) projects, over the past twelve years. The Tropical Legumes projects led by ICRISAT in three parts (TLI, TLII and TLIII), constitute a major international initiative supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and jointly implemented by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) partners from Sub-Saharan Africa and India. The project developed improved cultivars of common bean, cowpea, chickpea and groundnut (but also soya bean and pigeon pea cultivars in its initial phases) and delivers their seed to smallholders in BMGF-focus areas. It also strengthens the NARS and CGIAR's breeding programs and seed platforms to enhance their ability to deliver high and sustained outputs to smallholder farmers. The book compiles the experiences of a diversity of actors within the grain legume value chains, with a focus on groundnut and common beans in Tanzania and Uganda, groundnut and cowpea in Nigeria, and groundnut in Ghana. All stakeholders involved share their thoughts on being part of a decade-long development project family. National agricultural research institutes, knowledge brokering organizations, NGOs, public and private seed companies, agro-dealers, individual seed entrepreneurs, farm-implement makers, farmer cooperatives, farmer groups, individual men and women farmers, middlemen, processors, traders and consumers were all involved in this project, and as such this book provides valuable insights for development workers, technical staff, and project managers. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aPlants$xDevelopment 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aPlant Development 606 $aPlant Genetics 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aPlants$xDevelopment. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Development. 615 24$aPlant Genetics. 676 $a630 686 $aSCI011000$aTEC003000$2bisacsh 700 $aAkpo$b Essegbemon$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0990515 702 $aOjiewo$b Christopher O$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aOmoigui$b Lucky O$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRubyogo$b Jean Claude$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aVarshney$b Rajeev K$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404250003321 996 $aSowing Legume Seeds, Reaping Cash$92265981 997 $aUNINA
