  1. Plant Sciences for Sustainable Crop Production Maize and associated legume crops

  2. Maize and associated legume crops Maize Bambara groundnut Carob beans Chickpea Cowpea Grass pea Groundnut Lablab Mamara bean Peas Phaseolus Pigeonpea Acacia roobios vegetable legumes forages Vignasubterranea Ceratoniasiliqua Cicerarietinum Vignaunguiculata Lathyrussativus Arachishypogaea Lablab purpureus Tylosemaesculentum Pisumsativum Phaseolus vulgaris (etc) Cajanuscajan Acacia senegal Aspalathuslinearis Desmodium, Stylosanthes

  3. Concept: MDG Science questions Research activities (science driven) Development activities (needs driven) This action

  4. Focus area: Productivity in maize – legume systems: realising the full potential scoping – constraint analysis relevance to European agriculture (ground cover) inter-specific competition (breeding for this) partnership combinations regional differences nutrient flow (between rotations) quality nutritional quality economics / seed distribution

  5. Gaps: Capacity Number of plant scientists in Africa Training Programme also specific projects Traits growth seed sector quality

  6. Partnerships: • ITN like system • Institutional and individual needs • Complementing existing programmes • (gap analysis) • Possible COST action to develop the programme • Private sector input

  7. Next steps: Details of scope what we will not do – identifies further gaps Identification of related actions Identification of funding source(s) Call for participation
