AXENIC Improving food yield, quality and provide an income source for small-holders in Sub-Saharan African

无菌将向撒哈拉以南非洲的小农户提供一种新的小袋形式的固氮疫苗。这种接种技术使用一种自然过程来利用我们呼吸的空气中的氮，从而使小农能够提高大豆等富含蛋白质的豆类作物的产量。基于成功的中小企业豆类科技公司LEGUMEFiX产品的成熟记录，该公司将作为财团的一部分，设计和开发接种剂盒以及新的机械设计，从而为大多数种植豆类作物的农民提供高质量、可靠的产品作为其主食的一部分。无菌项目将与TQC和制造技术中心(英国Catapult)合作，以他们在机械设计方面的集体经验为基础，创造首个上市产品。由于预算限制和大流行传播的旅行限制，该项目将受到限制。

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.
