The legumES overall aim is to share, showcase, co-develop, and implement the knowledge, key agronomic practices, methodologies, and tools which will allow optimized legume-based systems, and valorization of the Ecosystem Services (ES) benefits provided. This is delivered across a diverse range of the major EU pedoclimatic regions and a diverse array of novel and innovative Pilot Studies, following the Multi-Actor Approach (MAA).
ITC is coordinating the MAA methodology implementation at the piloting level, following the Living Lab approach, and implementation of the Slovenian pilot focusing on Beans, Chickpeas and Lentil.
