Global programs / Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Legume Systems Research
Purpose: The Legume Systems Research Innovation Lab will develop and evaluate technologies and options for utilizing legumes in agricultural and food systems leading to sustainably intensified smallholder farming systems and improved resilience and nutritional outcomes. Activities: The research portfolio will address integration of legumes into agricultural landscapes in such a way as to increase farm productivity, promote environmental sustainability, restore soil fertility, increase adaptation to variable and changing weather patterns, and stabilize yields for smallholders; evaluate and develop a role for legumes in local/regional market systems in such a way as to increase the diversity and profitability of agricultural income opportunities for smallholders; and conduct analysis of sociocultural and/or economic motivators or barriers to legume utilization at various stages within the market systems.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
