Abstract
In addition to their Nitrogen (N2)-fixing capacity legumes are extremely important in human and animal diets, significantly improving household health standards. This book is based on the proceedings of the workshop (“International Workshop on Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Increased Crop Productivity, Enhanced Human Health and Sustained Soil Fertility,” 2002, at ENSAM-INRA, Montpellier, France), takes a holistic approach to harnessing legume Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) technologies, starting from a socioeconomic perspective, and progressing to agronomic and genetic options, bringing together innovative aspects and participatory research strategies.
