Advancing sustainable agriculture with legumes Broad study shows benefits of rotating standard crops with beans and lentils. A collection of dried leguminous seeds, or pulses. Credit: Helen Camacaro / Getty Images Legumes are a win-win for food security and the environment – two major problems facing the planet. Packed with protein, fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, they emit small amounts of greenhouse gases, sequester carbon and enrich the soil with nitrogen. This makes them ideal plants for crop rotation, yet studies until now have been fragmented and only considered isolate...

Adding more legumes to crop rotations has benefits, study says 14 April 2021 | Growing beans, peas and lentils provide numerous benefits, scientists say Adding more legumes, such as beans, peas and lentils, to European crop rotations could provide nutritional and environmental benefits, scientists have found. Researchers used a first-of-its-kind approach to show that the increased cultivation of legumes could deliver higher nutritional value at lower environmental and resource costs. They said switching cereals for leguminous plants in European crop rotations provided more nutrient-rich prod...

Digital seminars pushing legume supported feed and food production in Europe A series of online events, hosted by a raft of European experts, will run in April and May to mark the end of two collaborative EU Horizon-2020 funded projects – Leg Value and TRUE - that aimed to empower legume-supported food and feed production across Europe. Roger Vickers, LegValue and TRUE partner, said: “ Pulses have an incredibly bright future, both for farmers who want to grow a sustainable, diverse rotation, and for consumers seeking a versatile, protein-rich food.”​ He ...
