Deliverable D4.4 Policy guidelines and good practices to boost legume cultivation in the EU Fostering sustainable legume-based farming systems and agri-feed and food chains in the EU, LEGVALUE, Grant agreement ID: 727672

Introducing sustainable legume-based farming systems The agricultural industry plays a vital role in ensuring the sustainability of populations and meeting their food requirements. It is also a significant component of various value chains, supplying essential goods. Therefore, it is essential to introduce innovations that can minimise its environmental impact and enhance its overall sustainability, thereby mitigating the impact of climate change. The EU-funded LEGVALUE project aims to develop and implement new farming systems based on legumes that are both sustainable and competitive. The project’s objective is to integrate these systems into European food chains and agri-feed systems. To accomplish this, the project will highlight the economic and environmental benefits of these legume-based farming systems and provide evidence of their positive impact on a list of 20 value chains.
