Abstract

ISPC Assessment  of the Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals Agri-food Systems CRP-II revised proposal (2017-2022). GLDC aims to increase the productivity, profitability, resilience, and marketability of critical and nutritious grain legumes (chickpea, cowpea, pigeonpea, groundnut, lentil, soybean) and cereals (sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet) grown within the semi-arid and sub-humid dryland agro-ecologies of SSA and SA.

The revised GLDC proposal has made satisfactory progress in addressing issues raised by the ISPC and the Expert Panel.
