Legume Systems Innovation Lab Shares Report On The Future Of Lentil Systems In Nepal

The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Legume Systems Research, in partnership with the Nepal USAID Mission, held a two-day exploration of lentil systems in Nepal late last year. The interactive workshop featured global and local experts exploring current and future global lentil system innovations while delving into the current state of the crop in Nepal.

A report by the Legume Systems Innovation Lab is now available which details recommendations from the participants on how future investments in six areas of lentil systems in Nepal can provide the greatest impact. The six areas include agronomy, integrated pest management, genetics  and breeding, seed systems, markets and trade, and nutrition and gender.

Video: Running a Farm Store + Starting No-Till Gardens w/Blue Goose Farm

We cover: today we are chatting with Keenan McVey of Blue Goose Farm in Ontario Canada. Keenan, along with his wife Ashley, run this small farm and along with it a really interesting, in-town Farm Store that is a little different from what you might think of as a farm store and has proved to be an invaluable marketing option for them. Keenan’s roots are in the culinary world, and the farm was also started with another chef from the area some of you may know, named Matty Matheson (of the excellent show The Bear). Keenan tells us that story as well as helps detail the technical stuff about how the gardens were created and how they are maintained.
