  • 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
