AXENIC will deliver a novel small bag format, nitrogen 'fixing' inoculant to Smallholders across sub-Saharan Africa. This inoculant technology uses a natural process to make use of nitrogen from the air we breath allowing the smallholders to boost the yield of the protein rich legume crops such as soybean. Based on the proven track record of the product LEGUMEFiX from the successful SME Legume Technology who will be working as part of a consortium to design and develop the inoculant pack as well as a new machine design, and hence deliver high quality, reliable products to the majority of farmers growing legumes as part of their staple diet. Working with TQC and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (UK Catapult), the AXENIC project will build on their collective experience in machine design to create a first-to market product.Due to the budget constraints and travel restriction from the pandemic dissemination will be limited.

AXENIC将向撒哈拉以南非洲的小农提供一种新颖的小袋式固氮菌剂。这种接种技术使用自然过程来利用我们呼吸的空气中的氮气，使小农能够提高富含蛋白质的豆类作物（如大豆）的产量。基于来自成功的SME Legume Technology的产品LEGUMEFiX的可靠记录，该公司将作为一个财团的一部分，设计和开发接种剂包以及新的机器设计，从而为大多数种植豆类作为主食的农民提供高质量，可靠的产品。AXENIC项目将与TQC和制造技术中心（英国Catapult）合作，利用他们在机械设计方面的集体经验，创造一个第一个推向市场的产品。由于预算限制和流行病传播的旅行限制，将受到限制。
