Vision Health, food security, environmental sustainability and increased smallholder income Mission Leveraging legumes to combat poverty, hunger, malnutrition and environmental degradation.

SC 2 Developing productive varieties and management practices SC 3 Facilitating legume seed and technology delivery systems. SC 4 Enhancing post-harvest processing and market opportunities

Overview of scope: IDO

• Improved and stable access to grain legumes by urban and rural poor

• Increased and more equitable income from grain legumes by low income value chain actors, especially women

• Increased consumption of healthy legumes and products by the poor for a more balanced and nutritious diet, especially among nutritionally vulnerable women and children

• Improved productivity of farming systems, especially among smallholder farmers

• Minimized adverse environmental effects of increased production and intensification of grain legumes
