KnowLEdGE creation and iNcreasing acreage of legumes in Diversified cropping systems by quAntification of theiR ecosYstem services (LEGENDARY)

传奇的目标是消除阻碍欧洲豆类种植面积显著和稳定增长的障碍。传奇的雄心是开发远远超出最先进水平的工具和方法，以量化不同农业气候区域的多年生和一年生豆科植物的生态系统服务(ESS)。传奇在共同创造的基础上，将其研究战略与实际需求保持一致。实地实验将由传统观测方法和先进的传感技术相结合进行监测，其传感器读数将通过专门的统计和机器学习模型转换为ES特性值。这些数据将用过去/正在进行的项目的成果加以加强。提供教育服务的评估将主要基于历史数据，因为重点是开发工具/方法来评估监管服务以及文化/社会服务的评估，包括娱乐、教育和审美价值。这些工具/方法将提供现成的指标，使农民/顾问能够更好地评估和欣赏豆类的益处，包括改进的施肥制度、有害生物的管理，以及加强作物多样化和延长作物轮作周期的建议，这些作物对环境、农民和消费者都是有益的。将开发一个用户友好的协作多标准决策支持系统，以帮助农民选择适合其农场的豆类品种和种植制度。传奇的结果将有助于为科学政策机构制定指导方针。因此，所提供的成果和执行行动最终将有助于实现联合国17个可持续发展目标中的5个，并加速欧洲绿色协议所要求的过渡。传奇的豆类植物具有促进土壤健康的能力，因此将为欧洲的土壤交易做出贡献。

The objective of LEGENDARY is to remove the barriers that hamper a significant and stable increase of the growing area of legumes in Europe. LEGENDARY has the ambition to develop tools and methods going considerably beyond the state-of-the-art to quantify Ecosystem Services (ESs) of perennial and of annual legumes in different agro-climatic zones. Based on co-creation, LEGENDARY aligns its research strategy with the actual needs. Field experiments will be monitored by a combination of traditional observation methods and advanced sensing technologies whose sensor reads are translated to ES trait values by means of dedicated statistical and machine learning models. These data will be fortified with results from past/ongoing projects. Valuation of the provisioning ESs will mainly be based on historical data, as the focus is to develop tools/methods for the valuation of the regulating services as well as for the valuation of cultural/social services including recreation, education and aesthetic values. These tools/methods will provide ready-to-use indicators to better equip farmers/advisors to evaluate and appreciate the benefits of legumes, including enhanced fertilising regimes, management of noxious organisms as well as recommendations to strengthen crop diversification and longer rotation cycles with crops beneficial for the environment, the farmer and the consumer. A user-friendly Collaborative Multicriteria Decision Support System will be developed, to assist farmers in the choice of legume species and cropping systems suitable for their farm. LEGENDARY’s results will contribute to develop guidelines for science-policies bodies. Consequently, the results and implementation actions provided will ultimately contribute to achieve five of the 17 UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and to accelerate the transition required by the European Green Deal. LEGENDARY’s legumes have the ability to promote soil health and will thus contribute to the Soil Deal for Europe.
