The aim of BELIS is (i) to increase the competitiveness of the EU and Associated Countries legume breeding industry by improving the methodologies and the governance structures of the breeding sector; (ii) to design conditions that allow an efficient delivery of the achieved genetic progress to the breeders and seed industry, and to the other actors (registration offices, extension services, feed and food industry, farmers). The project will focus on seven forage crops and seven grain crop that are currently grown to produce feed (for ruminants – cattle, sheep, goat and monogastric animals – pig, poultry), food (as is or after processing) or to deliver ecosystem services. BELIS has three main objectives: (1) To develop tools and methodologies for cost-effective breeding programmes and deliver proofs of concept, with and for breeders, (2) To facilitate the economic and regulatory environment: variety registration, variety recommendation and business models, (3) To implement an efficient, ambitious and durable transfer of innovation through the BELIS platform that includes a network of breeders and actors from scientific research, extension services and seed, food and feed industries, as well as a training portfolio. By enabling the creation of improved varieties in many species, adapted to different areas and uses in Europe, this project is relevant for the destinations towards “Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services”, mainly contributing to “Access to a wider range of crops and breeds with a broadened genetic base is improved in line with global biodiversity commitments”. It also supports the “Practices in agriculture and forestry support biodiversity and the provision of other ecosystems services”. In addition, BELIS will have a positive input on natural biodiversity, reduction of air and water pollutions and farming system sustainability.

BELIS的目的是(I)通过改进育种部门的方法和治理结构，提高欧盟和联系国豆类育种行业的竞争力；(Ii)设计条件，使所取得的遗传进展能够有效地传递给育种者和种子业，以及其他行为者(注册办公室、推广服务、饲料和食品业、农民)。该项目将侧重于目前种植的七种饲料作物和七种粮食作物，用于生产饲料(用于反刍动物--牛、绵羊、山羊和单胃动物--猪、家禽)、食物(现有的或加工后的)或提供生态系统服务。BELIS有三个主要目标：(1)为育种者开发具有成本效益的育种方案的工具和方法，并为育种者提供概念证明；(2)促进经济和监管环境：品种登记、品种推荐和商业模式；(3)通过BELIS平台实施高效、雄心勃勃和持久的创新转让，该平台包括来自科学研究、推广服务、种子、食品和饲料行业的育种者和行为者网络，以及一个培训组合。通过创造适应欧洲不同地区和用途的许多物种的改良品种，该项目与实现“生物多样性和生态系统服务”的目标相关，主要有助于“根据全球生物多样性承诺，改善获得更广泛的作物和品种的机会，扩大遗传基础”。它还支持“农业和林业支持生物多样性和提供其他生态系统服务的做法”。此外，Belis将在自然生物多样性、减少空气和水污染以及农业系统的可持续性方面做出积极贡献。
