Description Ms. Hadja Salame Shaibu (Fig. 7.1) is a cowpea producer and processor in the Local
Government Area of Dawakin Tofa. She grew up in a farming community where
crop- livestock integration is a tradition. When she got married few decades ago,
Salame continued farming and keeping livestock to support her new family, mainly
in sorghum and cowpea production.
Few years ago, Salame also started processing cowpea into local dishes (Moi-moi,
Accra, Danwake, and many other products). She also cooked and sold a special
dish made from a combination of pasta and cowpea which was well appreciated by
the consumers and made her successful.
