Improving the sustainability of lupins through conventional and next generation methodologies

** 羽扇豆目前在英国是一种利用率较低的作物，具有改变英国食品和饲料蛋白市场的巨大潜力。我们正在研究羽扇豆成为英国可持续生产的农场蛋白质作物的机会，以取代和克服进口大豆作为牲畜饲料的需求，因为羽扇豆提供高质量/数量的蛋白质，相当于大豆，超过豌豆/豆类。该项目将 ** 通过再生农业和改善羽扇豆性状的脱碳和改善可持续性的两种并行策略，** 改变传统的以农场为基础的羽扇豆蛋白质生产，每种策略都有基础指标和测量。由于缺乏食品/饲料市场和 ** 需要 ** 基于证据和知情的 ** 鼓励 **，英国 ** 的羽扇豆产量目前很低。该项目旨在通过知识交流/知识持有者关系/传播活动实现这一目标。这将刺激市场，并使种植者有信心在他们的轮作和/或农场饲料生产中将羽扇豆作为一种可行的作物。这应该通过 ** 农民参与田间试验 ** 来加强，使同行能够相互学习。该项目由一个高度胜任的财团提供，由SoyaUK和Phytoform Labs领导。

**Lupin is currently an under-utilised crop in the UK with a huge potential of transforming the UK protein market for both food and feed.** We are investigating the opportunity that lupin has to become a **sustainably produced farm-based protein crop in the UK**, to replace and overcome the need for importing soya for livestock feed due to lupins provide high quality/quantity of protein, equivalent to soya and outstripping peas/beans. This project would **transform the traditional farm-based lupin protein production by 2 parallel strategies for decarbonisation and improved sustainability** via regenerative agriculture and improved lupin traits, each with underpinning metrics and measurements.**Lupin production in the UK** is currently low due to the lack of food/feed market and **needs** evidence-based and informed **encouragement**. The project aims to achieve this via the knowledge-exchange/stakeholder-relations/dissemination activities. This should stimulate the market and give growers confidence in taking on lupin as a viable crop in their rotations and/or on-farm feed production. This should be enhanced by **the involvement of farmers in the field trials** enabling peer to peer learning.The project is delivered by a highly competent consortium, led by CHAP, partnered with SoyaUK and Phytoform Labs.
