The Legume Hub is Europe's knowledge platform for legumes - a web-based knowledge platform about the production of legumes and their use as food and feed products in Europe.
Lentils are more than a humble pulse — they’re vital for sustainable diets & global #foodsecurity.

#LegumeGeneration boosts lentil breeding for stronger, climate-smart varieties.
