Legumes are an important source of protein for humans and animals.
They provide nutritionally rich crop residues for animal feed, and
playa key role in maintaining the productivity of soils
particularly through biological nitro gen fixation. They are,
therefore, of immense value in rainfed farming systems. The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas
(ICARDA) has a responsibility for research on food, pasture, and
forage legumes. The Center also has the broad objective of
improving livestock production in rainfed farming systems. Although
food legumes have be n known and grown by farmers in the WANA
region for a long time, their productivity has remained low and
variable. Forage legumes, on the other hand, are not so well known
by farmers of the region, and their role in the farming systems is
not so well understood. Thus, we need to develop the concept of
using forage legumes as crops and to fit them into cropping
systems. In its efforts to increase the productivity of food
legumes and develop the legume-based crop/livestock systems, ICARDA
has established a network of scientists in the different National
Agricultural Research Systems in the region. To further strengthen
this network, ICARDA convened a workshop on 'The Role of Legumes in
the Farming Systems of Mediterranean Areas' in Tunis, Tunisia,
20-24 June 1988. This workshop was co-sponsored by UNDP, who also
contributed funds for this publication."
