The aim of this project was to scale up promising legume based technologies identified during phase I to increase and sustain land productivity in East Africa farming systems for improved livelihoods. The project tested, adapted and disseminated the best legume species and technologies to improve soil fertility management, as well as to enhance the capacity of both farmers and extension staff through demonstrations of new technologies, using participatory approaches.
