Objectives

In this study, the research team seeks to integrate teh food utilization and plant breeding components of ESA to: a) understand and quantify consumer preferences, and b) improve the efficiency of the breeding program to release bean varieties that will be successful in the marketplace. Steps are also taken to integrate cowpea research in ESA with that of beans. The concepts and technologies developed in this research can be adapted to cowpeas, as well as transferred to other regions.
