Faba beans, formerly known as broad beans, are among the oldest
crops in the world. It has in fact been claimed with some
justification that the Pyramids were built on faba beans They are
today a major crop in many countries such as China, Egypt and the
Sudan; and are widely grown for human food throughout the Me
iterranean region, in Ethiopia and in parts of Latin America. In
recent years there has been a growing interest in faba bean
production as a protein source for stock feed in parts of Europe,
North America and Aus. tralia. The publication served by this
preface arose from the first International Faba Bean Con ference,
held in Cairo, Egypt, on March 7-11, 1981 which provided a suitable
forum for the review of many scientifically important aspects of
the improvement of the crop. Leading faba bean specialists from
four continents who participated were able not only to contri. bute
from their personal expertise in relevant subjects, but in return
to gain from their ex perience of Nile Valley conditions and from
close contact with so many of the world's faba bean scientists. The
conference was supported in the main by the ICARDAjIFAD Nile Valley
Faba Bean Project. Additional support was received from a number of
other organisations and institutions whose help is gladly
acknowledged. These included the Agricultural Research Council
(ARC) of the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture; G.T.Z. of Germany;
IDRC of Canada; the National Research Center of Egypt; and Cairo
University."
