Soil scientists have worked for years to understand and maximize the effect two native shrubs have on crops in the Sahel. When planted at high density in farmers’ fields, these shrubs add biomass and natural irrigation to crops, boosting yield and creating a natural, potentially important resilience tool. Hear how researchers are working with farmer groups to test this technology in groundnut. 

This one-hour webinar discusses recent findings on how a shrub that grows wild in the Sahel increases the yield of groundnut and other crops.
