Legume Breeding for the Agroecological Transition of Global Agri-Food Systems: A European Perspective

Wider and more profitable legume crop cultivation is an indispensable step for the agroecological transition of global agri-food systems but represents a challenge especially in Europe. Plant breeding is pivotal in this context. Research areas of key interest are represented by innovative phenotypic...
