Poverty is rife in eastern Africa, where over half the rural population is extremely poor. Addressing this state of affairs, ICRISAT has allied itself with an array of partners to reduce poverty through a market-driven strategy. The strategy is based on intensified cultivation of ICRISAT’s legume crops – chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut – and linking farmers to markets where these commodities are sold.
