Our People

Details of the people that contribute to the LegumeSELECT project

The LegumeSELECT Team

We are a multidisciplinary consortium of 24 plus scientists and researchers from 10 institutions across the UK, Ethiopia, Kenya and the DRC. Collectively, we are working together to improve the LegumeCHOICE decision support tool with the aim of facilitating informed decision making on the use of legumes to improve livelihoods in smallholder farming systems in Africa.
