**What the charity does:** Our strategy is to support scientists in the target countries by providing research grants, laboratories, advice, training, equipment and supplies to enable them to carry out marker assisted selection for crop improvement. We presently focus on legume crops for a number of reasons: they provide essential nutrients not available from cereal or root crops. they improve soil by fixing nitrogen and stabilising it through their deep root systems. they are relatively neglected by funding agencies. We focus on legumes important for smallholder farmers, who produce a significant proportion of the food grown in African countries and in India.
