What can amaze other people about the achievements of the TRUE project until now?
- brings together a lot of different people from the legume story
- more than 30 blogposts with project updates on the website
- nice to have so many case studies working together on legumes for cows. legumes as vegetables or other diverse things
- creating legume based products that are appealing to the consumer and also measuring the impact of health of the consumption of legume based food
- discovering and pushing forward a lot of opportunities for legumes and legume based products in the food and feed markets
- combination of environmental benefits with the nutrient benefits
- access to a bulk of knowledge through the transdisciplinary work, curious to see from social science perspective the measurement of uptake on farmers and consumers side.
- there is no overall policy for legume production and consumption, but a range of individual policies can create a momentum for more legumes
- huge amount of knowledge already collected that needs to be structured in a Decision Support System (DSS) for assessing the sustainability of legume systems.
- TRUE will have a real transdisciplinary DSS
- gather the evidence base that will empower consumer led change
