The Legume Generation consortium is dedicated to enhancing legume breeding in Europe by fostering collaboration between entrepreneurial breeders and an inventive research community. Our approach involves six breeder-led innovation communities, each focusing on a specific legume species like soya bean, lupins, pea, lentil, phaseolus bean, and white/red clover. These communities drive innovation, connecting practical breeding with cutting-edge research in a transdisciplinary framework.
