摘要

An ACIAR project entitled "Tropical forage and ley legume technology for sustainable grazing and cropping systems in southern Africa" (Project no. AS2/96/149) conducted a farmer participatory research project with communal (Dendenyore ward) and resettlement (Zana ward) farmers in the District of Wedza in Zimbabwe from 1999 until 2002. The main aim of this project was to test and introduce a suite of legume technologies into the mixed crop-livestock systems that predominate in these regions. A range of constraints that include poor soil fertility, lack of dry season feed for livestock and variable rainfall, seriously limit production and food security in Wedza. Diversifying the range of crops, selling cash crops such as paprika and replacing weedy fallows with improved lablab or mucuna fallows, were all methods employed by farmers to improve production. Livestock farmers formed cooperative organisations to sell their products and build capacity in livestock production. Many farmers were able to substitute bought-in feed concentrates with home grown legume-based feed sources. This paper sets the scene for several subsequent papers that describe in detail the participative action research program based around the theme of using well-adapted legumes to improve the farming system.
