Mushinga is a Humidropics action site; legume CHOICE was the first project to implement its activities. Farmers from Madaka and Luduha villages were all invited in this meeting.
Bushumba is situated in Kabare North opposite to INERA Mulungu; was selected to be Legume CHOICE field site; farmers from the two villages Bushumba centre and Mulengeza were invited to join this village meeting.

Focus group discussion 12 farmers from each villages were invited to the discussion ; female were formed their own group and discussed separately.Five species of legumes were seems to be known by them -common bean, soybean, groundnut, Leucaena and Calliandra.Production system is intercropping and hedgerow systems for legumes trees .Land tenure, land degradation and soil erosion issues, diseases attacks, climate changes and lack of improve seeds varieties were shown to be the major constraints to crop production

Walk transect survey and farm characterization
1)Walk transect; 10% of the population size in each villages were systematically selected and interviewed for their legume production systems and livestock: 57 households in Luduha, 60 in Madaka, 122 in Bushumba centre and 77 in Mulengeza
2)8farmers per typology per village (wealthy farmers, middles and low incomes ) were selected for quick survey to be characterized
A data Cspro data based is available and waiting analysis

Quick survey
This consisted to get quick information from the household about legume production system, livestock and fertilizers management

Research trials
13 research trials that has five treatments (soybean monocropping, soybean intercropping system with cassava, common bean monocropping , common bean intercropping with cassava and a control of local farmer practice) were implemented within farmers group association responding to the focus groups constraints land, diseases attack and unimproved seeds varieties.

Research trials
Cassava is high value crop in DRC, this was intercropped with soybean and common bean HM21-7 variety of improve bio-fortifie bean, SB 24 for soybean and Sawasawa resistant to Mosaic virus

Research trials participatory evaluation with farmers; the best practice between treatments were selected in secret by farmers. This was done at maturity of common bean
farmers were given a chance to select the three best treatments among five that was implemented

Major constraints
- Insufficient budget to set up trials at Mushinga
- Lack of budget at country coordination to communicate with partners and to visits partners at Kalmbo
- Lack of equipment like laptop, …- Complain of UCB for a win-win partnership:
motivation for the country coordinator for time spent to the project and administrative costs
