🫘"The high protein content of #pulses is one of the reasons they have a key role to play in fixing our broken food system... They're healthy whole foods with a very low environmental footprint" Great blog from #globalbean @Nico_orniCar #politicsofprotein

Last week we had a very nice session about legumes in intercropping with the #GlobalBean! Here is the video replay of the presentation and discussion. https://t.co/xgYUAwCTC4

Our farmer-researcher collaboration brought new insights about using on-farm experiments to increase cultivation of pulses. Swedish farmers managed to overcome several barriers to pulse production! Read more here: https://t.co/NZlAAPbpMM

We are still looking for candidates! How can we use the existing Swedish biodiversity data to assess the impact from food production using LCA? 4-years of funding for a PhD-student in a project with leading ecologist and a broad stakeholder group. Please retweet!

Celebrating #WorldPulsesDay today by saving 3 seeds of all the varieties I tested (and harvested) in 2021.

Heute ist #WorldPulsesDay! Die Gelegenheit, alle in 2021 getestete und geerntete #Hülsenfrüchte einen schönen Platz zu geben.

Follow @LumineusesAcker for more updates about pulse cultivation and use in South-West Germany! How good are the automatic translations? I'm considering posting in english to connect with more Pulse lovers worldwide.

[Lumineuses_Div @Lumineuses_Div]

#Bohnen, #Linsen und #Erbsen sind vielfältig und lecker! Außerdem sind sie sehr gesund für uns Menschen und für die #Landwirtschaft. Bei uns in #Südbaden gibt es trotz großen Potentials fast keinen Anbau von diesen Kulturen. Das wollen wir ändern!
#Hülsenfrüchte #Freiburg

[Nicolas Carton @Nico_orniCar]

Challenging year for chickpea test cultivation in Südbaden! Still hoping to harvest something, and we'll definitely try again next year! Spring and summer 2021 will probably remain outliers in the local climate trend...

[Lumineuses_Div @Lumineuses_Div]

Dieses Jahr ist nicht das einfachste, um in Deutschland Kichererbsenanbau zu probieren. Wenige Hülsen wegen der kühlen Witterung und Ascochytabefall wegen der Feuchtigkeit... Vielleicht gibt es doch ein bisschen was zu ernten! Aber es wird langsam spät 😬

@AABiologists @moritz_reckling Sounds great, congratulations! Will the slides or the recording be available? Or is there already a published paper?

[Nicolas Carton @Nico_orniCar]

My project on local pulses goes now online!
Follow @LumineusesAcker, a pilot project to establish a stronger pulse cultivation and consumption in Freiburg and around!

[Nicolas Carton @Nico_orniCar]

@DiegoRubiales_ @PlantTeams @EU_H2020 @IAS_CSIC This looks nice, Angel and Diego! Can you let us know more? Do I see some Lathyrus peas? What combinations are you testing?

[IJANR @IJANR_UC]

❔❓ What are the potential ecosystem services obtained from intercropping of cereals and grain legumes in Europe?

This question and more are answered in "Diversifying European agricultural systems by intercropping": https://t.co/fZG2ZDwz3W

As for the socks, I'm not sure it was as efficient as the old french fixing tip promised. We'll see tomorrow!

[Nicolas Carton @Nico_orniCar]

#worldpulsesday is also a day to try unexpected uses of pulses, like white bean cooking water to fix shrinked wool socks. As a by-product, my housemates enjoyed minestrone, bean-fennel salad, bean spread and bean patties. Everything was gone before I took a picture!
