  The world is experiencing a shrinking land against the increasing fertility of mankind. This is creating a demand supply imbalance subsequently resulting in severe food insecurity, malnutrition and ultimately poverty.

The best approach designed in this study is growing a neglected crop named; African Spider Flower (Cleome gynandra L.) locally named”Qetso” in the marginal lands where no crops are growing. Growing this crop in the marginal lands has several benefits over the existing conventional experience. .. Read More»
