of Bahaira Governorate in Egypt,
Abu Ahmed (right) proudly displays his faba bean crop full of healthy pods,
grown without using fungicides. In the past, he had to apply two or more
fungicide sprays to save his crop from the chocolate spot disease. He is one
of hundreds of farmers in the Upper Egypt to Delta
area who are participating in large-scale demonstrations of the newly
released high-yielding and disease-resistant varieties of faba bean, and
improved production practices that bring them higher profits. These
demonstrations are organized by ICARDA s Nile
