The research projects

PULSAR, a France 2030 project for the re-emergence of the white lupin in our fields and our diet ANR-23-PLEG-0003 Legumes have the capacity to produce protein-rich seeds for food and feed, and thus play an important role in promoting resource-efficient agriculture, and sustainable and healthy diets. However, protein-rich grain legumes, such as pea, faba bean […]

SPECIFICS is a project under the Priority Research Programme “Cultiver et Protéger Autrement” aimed at designing pesticide-free cropping systems rich in pulses.   Project site:  https://specifics.hub.inrae.fr/ SPECIFICS aims to acquire new knowledge for assisting in the design and the development of pesticide-free and legume-rich cropping systems. Pesticide-free farming systems require a profound change from present […]

The JACK project, led by ESA, aims to promote the adoption of pulses from consumers and chefs to producers A multidisciplinary team will spend four years of research to valorize  pulses through a gastronomic approach coupled with a better understanding of their agronomic, nutritional, functional, sensorial and environmental qualities. Sixteen private and public partners, more […]

DiVicia, a PRIMA project to restore the agro-diversity of faba beans and vetches in Mediterranean cereal agroecosystems https://divicia-project.org/ DiVicia will work toward the design of sustainable, efficient and resilient biodiversity-based cereal-legume cropping systems adapted to the future challenges and constraints of Mediterranean areas with added values. This will promote the ecological intensification of production systems […]
