dc.description.abstractDrawing on research by agronomists, nutritionists and development experts, the project’s staff taught intercropping methods to farmers as well as how to grow different varieties of legumes such as soy beans, peanuts, and peas. The project currently has 7,000 participants and is able to add 500 more every year through a seed multiplication programme that distributes legume seeds to new farmers. Malnutrition rates have decreased. The connection between malnutrition and farming practices was made in 2000, when hospital staff together with a Canadian researcher, interviewed parents of children admitted to the nutrition unit.en
