Sperling, L.Scheidegger, Urs C.Buruchara, Robin A.[Designing seed systems for smallholder farmers: principles derived from bean research in the Great Lakes region of Africa]Designing seed systems for smallholder farmers: principles derived from bean research in the Great Lakes region of Africa

Common bean still is the basic food in the Walungu region and the almost only source of proteins. With farmers from Walungu in general and the women of the organisation Femmes solidaires pour le Développement du Bushi (FESODEBU) in particular, the team of the PNL/Mulungu has done a survey to defi...
