Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract The low yield of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) in sub‐Saharan Africa is credited to several limitations, including poor soil fertility and unsustainable cropping systems. Cereals like maize (Zea mays L.) and legume crops like cowpea support smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa. Intercropping (more common than rotations) can boost

Food Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 211-221, June 2026.This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...
