Legumes play an important role in the cropping systems of sub Saharan Africa (SSA). Legumes are an important source of nutrition to both humans and livestock by providing the much needed protein, minerals, fibre and vitamins. The sale of legumes seed, leaves and fibre generates income for the marginalized communities especially women. Cultivation of legumes is essential for the regeneration of nutrient-deficient soils. By biologically fixing nitrogen (BNF) in the soil, legumes provide a relatively low-cost method of replacing otherwise expensive inorganic nitrogen in the soil. This enhances soil fertility and boosts subsequent cereal crop yields. Production of legumes in SSA is however; hampered by a number of constraints among them low and declining soil fertility, low soil pH, high salinity, drought and flooding, poor access to improved germplasm, diseases, pests and weeds. Farmers need to learn how to overcome these constraints if the full benefits of legumes are to be gained. This book presents a synthesis of research work on legumes and draws attention to the importance of legumes in integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) and poverty alleviation in SSA.

Pulses have a long history in sub-Saharan Africa due to their multiple benefits. Pulses, and legumes in general, can play an important role in agriculture because of their ability to biologically fix atmospheric nitrogen and to enhance the biological turnover of phosphorus; thus they could become the cornerstone of sustainable agriculture in Africa. In this sense, there is a body of literature that points to diversification of existing production systems – particularly legumes species, which provide critical environmental services, including soil erosion control and soil nutrient recapitalization. This publication is a review of some of the promising strategies to support the cultivation and utilization of pulses on smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa. The review is part of the legacy of the International Year of Pulses (IYP), which sought to recognize the contribution that pulses make to human well-being and the environment.

In Chapter 5, we used a farm-level systems approach to investigated the minimum farm size needed, the optimal crop combination to grow and the potential contribution of mainstream agricultural interventions to provide a nutritious diet and additional income in all seasons of the year for an average rural household in Northern Ghana. Linear programming was applied to model different scenarios and interventions. The food-based dietary guidelines developed for this thesis were used as well as data from other secondary sources for information on seasonal yields, waste factors, crop availability, crop land use and prices for all crops produced in Northern Ghana. Results indicate that 75% of the household had sufficient farm size (>1.43 ha) to produce their food needs for a nutritious diet. Agricultural interventions increasing the yields of grains and legumes decrease the farm size needed to about 1 ha (17% of households reported a farm size
