The Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, is showcasing its agricultural research innovations and technologies at the 9th International Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Society for Underutilized Legumes (SUL), holding from 21–22 October 2026 at the NAERLS Ultra-Modern Conference Hall, ABU Zaria.

The exhibition provides an opportunity for IAR to highlight its research activities, improved agricultural technologies and contributions to the development of legumes and other crops that support food security, nutrition and sustainable agricultural production.

Through its participation, IAR is contributing to knowledge sharing and engagement among researchers, scientists, policymakers, farmers and other agricultural stakeholders. The event also provides a platform to exchange ideas, showcase research outputs and explore opportunities for collaboration in the utilisation and improvement of underutilised legumes.

Underutilised legumes have considerable potential to contribute to food and nutritional security, diversify farming systems, improve livelihoods and support sustainable agriculture. Research into these crops can help unlock their value and promote their wider adoption among farmers and consumers.

IAR’s participation reflects its continued commitment to promoting agricultural research, showcasing scientific innovations and strengthening collaboration with institutions and stakeholders working to advance agricultural development in Nigeria and beyond.

The Institute remains dedicated to generating and disseminating improved agricultural technologies that address farmers’ needs, enhance productivity and contribute to national food security.
