Unlocking the benefits
of legumes

Boosting sustainability
of agroecosystems

VALERECO aims to develop an EU-wide legume ecosystem to identify barriers and enablers of legume adoption and provide services on the economic and environmental benefits of their widespread inclusion into EU agricultural systems to promote biodiversity.

The establishment of Living Labs (LLs) and co-creation of technical solutions through them will be the core of the identification, valorisation and dissemination of the legumes Ecosystem Services (ES), bringing together actors from different parts of the agri-food value chain to develop, test and assess solutions promoting legume adoption.
