Dietary choices can reflect how the food system affects our health personally and as a society, our environment and ultimately contributes to climate change. Essentially, sustainable food production is contingent on sustainable diets. Pulse crops can play an important role in sustainable food systems as they (1) are an excellent source of plant protein with numerous additional health benefits; (2) have the well-known environmental return of biological nitrogen fixation - reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers and as such indirectly reduce GHG emissions; and (3) are excellent crops to include in crop rotations to break cycles of pest and diseases.This project will apply a transdisciplinary approach to the current common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) molecular breeding programme at Warwick Crop Centre. Specific objectives will aim to identify molecular markers for elite breeding material that capture disease resistance and harvestability traits for growers, as well as culinary traits for consumers. Consumer participatory research will be used to examine explanations for food (pulse) selection. Psychology research methods will enable examination of whether pulse intake can be increased by providing a norm of appropriate food selection and information on food preparation. Ultimately, this project aims to enhance the understanding of users' and society's needs for delivering a full range of UK pulse breeding impacts. Specifically, impact is aimed at adapting common bean to the UK food system by providing UK consumers with a healthy source of home-grown plant protein and UK farmers with a profitable short-season legume break crop. In other words, home-grown haricot beans are a missing crop and ingredient that links sustainable food production and sustainable food consumption in the UK.

饮食选择可以反映出食物系统如何影响我们个人、社会和环境的健康，并最终导致气候变化。从本质上讲，可持续的粮食生产取决于可持续的饮食。豆类作物可以在可持续粮食系统中发挥重要作用，因为它们(1)是植物蛋白的极好来源，具有许多额外的健康益处；(2)具有众所周知的生物固氮的环境回报-减少对合成肥料的需求，从而间接减少温室气体排放；(3)在作物轮作中是打破病虫害循环的优良作物。该项目将对沃里克作物中心目前的普通豆（Phaseolus vulgaris）分子育种计划采用跨学科方法。具体目标将是确定优质育种材料的分子标记，为种植者捕获抗病和收获特性，以及为消费者捕获烹饪特性。消费者参与性研究将用于检查食物（脉冲）选择的解释。心理学研究方法将通过提供适当食物选择的规范和食物制备的信息来检查是否可以增加脉搏摄入量。最终，该项目旨在加强对用户和社会需求的理解，以提供全方位的英国脉冲育种影响。具体来说，impact旨在通过为英国消费者提供健康的本土植物蛋白来源，为英国农民提供有利可图的短季豆类作物，使普通豆类适应英国食品体系。换句话说，在英国，自家种植的板豆是一种缺失的作物和联系可持续粮食生产和可持续粮食消费的成分。
