Abstract
The study is part of a larger project, “Improved food security in the highlands of Ethiopia through improved and sustainable agricultural productivity and human nutrition.” The study sites were selected based on criteria which include potential and actual cultivation of pulses like bean, lentil and chickpeas. Survey results from case studies of 60 randomly selected rural households are presented covering various issues pertinent to household characteristics, crop and livestock production, input use, household income and expenditure, social services and food habits. The communities depend mainly on rainfed agriculture, crop production, and cattle for milk.
