Our philosophy
Through action research and developmentpartnerships, Africa RISING is creatingopportunities for smallholder farm households tomove out of hunger and poverty throughsustainably intensified farming systems thatü improve food security,ü nutrition security, andü income security,

Closing the yield gaps:
§Requires knowledge assimilation by farmersthrough simple pathways§Plausible approaches include learning by doing –
farmers empowered through experimentation

The doubled-up legume technologyIntercropping two grain legumes
§ Legume –legume intercrops (double legume)based on different crop growth habits /architecture
ü one of the crops starts growth slowlyü Both crops planted at their optimum spacing (as in
sole cropping – additive intercropping design)Ø two grain crops harvestedØ soil fertility benefits larger
