居住在该地区和/或附近的居民是否参与了该技术的开发？

是

通过什么手段？:

• 咨询
• 参与途径

描述现场影响（按类别划分的两类主要影响）

It is resilient to plant diseases
Does not require use of pesticides and hence retain the soil in their natural condition
Enhances food security among the vulnerable local communities
Highly vegetative hence acts as soil cover to reduce land degradation.
Has good potential for value addition
It is a staple food for most communities in  the arid and semi arid lands
It is drought resistant
It a perenial crop

描述两个主要的场外影响（即不是发生在现场，而是发生在周围区域）

Food processing industries have emerged out of it to its various uses to meet the local market demand
Generate income thro selling the products out the location

对生物多样性和气候变化的影响

解释原因:

Can mitigate climate change as a land cover, retention and improvement of traditional food crops and mitigate aginst land degradation. The canopy preserves soil temperature and moisture  thereby enhancing soil biota.|
Encourage use of traditional foods as one of the adaptation measures. Hence the need to invest on resilient crop variety to adverse weather conditions for food security and to protect community livelihoods
The crop acts a carbon sinks for carbon
