Crop mixtures can help maintain crop production while addressing climate and nature challenges. Better crop performance can be found in cooler, low-rainfall conditions, but performance varied by composition. Exciting steps toward sustainable farming! ?? ?? https://lnkd.in/g_jje_Mm #legumES #Resilience #LegumeCrops #FunctionalDiversity #Innovation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CropRotation #CropDiversification #IntegratedPestManagement

We had an amazing session sharing knowledge, and insights regarding? legumes' ecosystem services, and their potential benefits: if only we grew more of them!. The discussions highlighted how legumes contribute to sustainable agriculture and reduce environmental impact. #legumES #Resilience #LegumeCrops #FunctionalDiversity #Innovation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CropRotation #CropDiversification #IntegratedPestManagement

The success of intercrops depends on factors like rainfall, crop composition, and farm management. As we look to the future of farming, it's clear that we need management approaches that maintain or enhance food production while reducing climate and biodiversity impacts. ?? This study helps reduce uncertainty by showing how intercrops perform in real local farm conditions and offers valuable insights for tailoring them to specific farming environments. ?? https://lnkd.in/dbXbbmU3 #legumES #Resilience #LegumeCrops #FunctionalDiversity #Innovation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CropRotation #CropDiversification #IntegratedPestManagement

Multi Actor Workshop Highlights! ? At this event, we discussed the various ecosystem benefits of legumes? and explored which indictors of system function are best to monitor these benefits. Also, how simple these indicators might be to use! #legumES #Resilience #LegumeCrops #FunctionalDiversity #Innovation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CropRotation #CropDiversification?

Today, we celebrate the power of pulses! These nutrient-packed crops play a crucial role in promoting sustainable agriculture, improving soil health, and reducing our environmental impact. Register to receive the legumES Neweletter! And receive new information regarding the?ecosystem benefits that can be provided by home-grown pulses! #legumES #Resilience #LegumeCrops #FunctionalDiversity #Innovation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CropRotation #CropDiversification #IntegratedPestManagement

The legumES project promotes legume cultivation in Europe,?? and so realise natural nitrogen cycling, and avoid nitrogen pollution,? in European farming systems. ? The approach also lowers greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil health.

?? A big thank you to all the amazing partners of the legumES project! Together, we are working towards a more?#sustainable and #resilient future by increasing the cultivation of?#homegrownlegumes in Europe ?? #legumES #Resilience #LegumeCrops #FunctionalDiversity #Innovation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CropRotation #CropDiversification #IntegratedPestManagement

By promoting cultivation of legumes locally', we help reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilisers, lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil health. ???? Join us in growing local legume-based solutions that benefit our communities, and the planet! #legumES #Resilience #LegumeCrops #FunctionalDiversity #Innovation #Sustainability #Biodiversity #CropRotation #CropDiversification #IntegratedPestManagement
