A rhizobium bacteria was isolated that helps pulses fix nitrogen from the air and improves the extremely degraded Ethiopian soil. This also increases yields of cereals—the main staple crop of farmers. Recipe demonstrations and nutritional education produced nutritious dishes that people want to eat. More than 3,810 educational materials (manuals, quick guides and posters) on dietary diversity and household pulse processing techniques were disseminated to caregivers, households and communities.application/pdfenAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONPULSESLEGUMESNUTRITIONCROP YIELDSNITROGEN FIXATIONRHIZOBIUM INOCULANTSSOIL FERTILITYETHIOPIASOUTH OF SAHARAProject Brief
