Pulses for food and nutrition security in Southern Ethiopia : a snapshot of stories of change - brief no 6
Towards reducing food and nutrition insecurity in southern Ethiopia, “Scaling-up Pulse Innovations for Food and Nutrition Security (SPIFoNS)" is a three-year collaborative project between Hawassa University (HU) and University of Saskatchewan (UofS). There is high demand and strong take-up from communities for the interventions. The project has reached a significant milestone and presents these stories of change, which are pertinent to further scaling-up. The current aim is to use pulse innovations as an entry point to facilitate system change, and towards food and nutrition security in the region
Improving food security in the highlands of Ethiopia through improved and sustainable agricultural productivity and human nutrition : final technical report, September 2010 to February 2013 [final technical report]
Contains annex 1, 2, and 4The goal was to increase the capacity of Ethiopia in improving food security and human nutrition through research on the breeding, agronomic, and nutrient management of pulse crops, while enhancing productivity and furthering the livelihood of farmers. The research identified early maturing improved chickpea varieties with superior yield potential, market acceptability and taste compared to the local variety, as well as production of green beans. The use of Rhizobium bacteria provided sufficient amounts of available nitrogen for a succeeding wheat crop. Results showed the benefits of N-fixing pulse crops to soil fertility and a successful participatory approach with farmers
Tagasaste (Chamaecytisus Palmensis) Leaf Supplementation to Enhance Nutrient Intake and Production Performance of Sheep in the Ethiopian Highlands
Tree Lucerne (Chamaecytisus palmensis) is a multipurpose fodder tree that grows very well in cooler highlands of Ethiopia and can serve as a source of high-quality protein supplement for farm animals. Despite its potential, the level of adoption and utilization is very limited. Africa RISING project in the Ethiopia highlands has conducted action research on tree Lucerne to fill knowledge gaps and promote its adoption.
To recommend optimal level of use of the foliage, a feeding experiment was conducted using yearling Menz sheep. The experiment involved graded levels of tree Lucerne hay supplementation (100 g, 200 g, 300 g, and 400 g/day) to sheep fed barely straw basal diet ad libitum. The feeding trial lasted for 90 days followed by 7 days of digestibility trial and carcass evaluation. Data were generated on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, body weight gain, and carcass quality for the different treatments
