Integrating Legumes in Maize-Based Farming Systems

Traditional soil management systems based on shifting agriculture are no longer viable due to land pressure. In this episode, we hear from Dr. Wezi Mhango, Principal Investigator with the "Legume Best Bets" project funded by the McKnight Foundation. Joining her is Dr. Frank Tchuwa, a collaborator on that project who focuses on the Farmer Research Network approach to extension. They discuss the importance of integrating legumes in maize-based farming systems and how to promote sustainable farming and soil management through the planting of diversified crop species.
