I gave a keynote talk at the #ils4 conference in Granada inviting legume researchers to reflect on the gap of influence between value-chain actors and which policies support legume-based cropping systems

[CharlesSpillane @CharlesSpillane]

At opening of #ilsgranada2023 #ILS4 @Balint_ESSRG discusses the “legume paradox” in #EuropeanUnion – despite benefits, why are legumes not grown or consumed more widely?

🌱 🌱 🌱 Are you aware of the policy paradoxes of underutilised crops? @ESSRG colleagues investigated the implications of the current governance of agrifood systems on the use of underutilised crops in @eu_radiant. Do you have other examples? Share here: https://t.co/i4HeSHW2E9

[ARC 2020 @ARC2020eu]

Why do nearly 50% of our calories come from the same three crops: wheat, rice, & maize?
What role can underutilised crops (UCs) play in making agri-food value chains more sustainable?
Orsolya Lazányi and colleagues from @eu_radiant tell us more.

Can we let ourselves interpret our practices - critically and collectively, in a participatory way? Our senior researcher, György Pataki talked about the @coevolvers Living Lab Methodology, a novel way to reflect on practice-based learning.

[Balint Balazs 🐝 🌱 🌗 🥊 @Balint_ESSRG]

What this methodology enables:
Helps people involved in a practice to organise and communicate what they have learned, discover better ways to perform and improve practice.

🌍 Current global food systems are contributors to climate change because they account for approximately 35% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, leading to biodiversity loss and water pollution,. Find out how #RADIANTPROJECT is contributing to agri-food sustainability.

Belgium is famous for beer...however, that beer is a fast brew with almost no ingredients from Belgium. Meet the farmers - and drinkers - working to change this!
