Improving the sustainability of lupins through conventional and next generation methodologies

**羽扇豆类目前在英国是一种未得到充分利用的作物，具有改变英国食品和饲料蛋白质市场的巨大潜力。**我们正在研究羽扇豆类必须成为**可持续生产的英国农场蛋白质作物**的机会，以取代和克服进口大豆作为牲畜饲料的需求，因为羽扇豆类提供相当于大豆的高质量/数量的蛋白质，并超过豌豆/豆类。该项目将**通过再生农业和改良羽扇豆性状来**改变传统的农场羽扇豆蛋白生产，通过再生农业和改良羽扇豆性状**来实现脱碳和提高可持续性。**羽扇豆制品在英国的产量**由于缺乏食品/饲料市场和**需要**基于证据和知情的**鼓励**而处于低迷状态。该项目旨在通过knowledge-exchange/stakeholder-relations/dissemination活动实现这一目标。这应该会刺激市场，并让种植者有信心在轮作和/或农场饲料生产中将羽扇豆作为一种可行的作物。应该通过**农民参与田间试验**实现点对点学习来加强这一点。该项目由一个由CHAP领导、与SoyaUK和Phytoform Labs合作的高能力财团实施。

**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.
