The soybean crop's high quantity and quality of proteins has led to growing global demand of soybeans for feed and food. Due to German consumer preferences, GM-free feed and organic soybean for human consumption are in high demand. Since cultivating GM-soybeans is not permitted in Europe, domestic production is a safe solution. So how can we better understand and identify agronomic factors for successful soybean cultivation to stabilize, optimize and expand soybean cultivation in Europe?

The use of legumes and leguminous by-products within dairy systems is compared at Crichton Royal Farm: Home-grown feed, which is not purchased except minarals against fully purchased feedstuff - contrasing technical performance as well as GHG emissions and nutrient use efficiencies are expected to arise from the diets, genotypes and housing systems containing leguminous co-products or legumes grown in the UK.

“You cannot grow soybean in Scotland”, was the advice recieved by Scottish researchers. Without evidence to support the conclusion, and like TRUE researchers we engaged optimistic seed suppliers to acquire the most suitable genotype. Driven by our interest in elite-rhizobia and -arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculum, we established a plot scale trial.
