Better grass. Better livestock. Urochloa cultivars help achieve goals related to poverty reduction, nutrition and climate resilience. High‑yielding grasses like Basilisk, MG‑4, Piatá and Xaraes increase livestock productivity and incomes for smallholder farmers. They thrive on poor soils and in dry conditions, supporting sustainable agriculture. Their high protein and digestibility improve milk and meat supplies. Thick pastures reduce erosion and restore soil health. Women benefit from reduced time spent searching for forage and from opportunities in hay and seed enterprises. Development programmes should support community seed multiplication, demonstration plots, training on sowing and weed control, and market linkages.
Growing Prosperity: Climbing Beans for Food Security & Income Growth Climbing Bean with High Yield and N Fixation Technology improved bean varieties in Eastern and Southern Africa, by increasing yields compared to bush types beans, contributing to food security and higher incomes for farmers. These improved climbing bean varieties are resistant to common pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical interventions. They can withstand various environmental stresses, enhancing their adaptability to different conditions. The technology promotes higher biological nitrogen fixation in climbing beans, reducing the cost for farmers and enabling cultivation in nitrogen-depleted soils. The adoption of these climbing bean varieties by small-scale farmers in Africa not only addresses hunger and malnutrition but also significantly improves their livelihoods.
