The article describes a project to increase yields of a food vital to the people of the Nile valley: the faba bean. The faba bean, known as ful in Arabic and today fried for the nutritious snack Falafel, is an ancient crop in the Nile valley introduced by Ramses III about 3000 years ago. As meat prices rise it is becoming an important part of the diet of the poor. The project aims at bridging the gulf between laboratory research e.g. on new herbicides and the know-how and talents of the farmer in the field. The article reports of the successes of going to the fields and of the model character derived from this practices for other countries such as Ethiopia. (DÜI-Asd)
