6 Overview of the project (consortium, funding line, objectives,...) General objective IMPROVE THE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION OF LEGUMINOUS, ENSURING VARIETIES AND INNOVATIVE FOODS AND FEEDS, AND TURNING EU MORE COMPETITIVE/SUSTAINABLE.

7 Overview of the project (consortium, funding line, objectives,...) Specific objectives Description of Biochemical/morphological features of pea, faba bean, and cowpea/blackeye-bean genotypes to develop varieties for food/feed and use in breeding (WP2); Selection of the most appropriate Rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi to support nitrogen fixation. Development of new commercial inoculants (WP3); Develop foods and feeds based on the nutritive value from European varieties of pea, faba bean, and cowpea (WP4); Introducing of pea, faba bean, and cowpea in production schemes to enhance the sustainability of agricultural systems and improve the yield and economical benefit (WP5, WP6); To give an added-value (as feeds) to products from legume grain production residues (WP6).

8 Key deliverables and Expected outcome Expected outcome WP2 Sourcing and characterization of genetic and phenological diversity of local genetic resources of cowpea, faba bean, and pea (Planed : cowpea-20, faba bean-50, pea ) Evaluation of root traits present in currently available genotypes and their adaptive plasticity under environmental constrains Diversified genepool for further pre-breeding and breeding activities in development of new cultivars of high plasticity and multipurpose use Deliverables Cowpea-139 Faba bean-241 Pea 211 Method for simulation of root architecture of the genotypes at early stage and full root development Handbook based on results for dissemination in Gene Banks and for breeders

9 Key deliverables and Expected outcome Expected outcome WP2 Deliverables Acceleration of selection methods by using NIR (Near Infra Red) in genotype assessment and genotyping by SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) Local genotypes and varieties with high nutritional value selected for food/feed processing New NIR calibrations available for evaluation of protein, amino acids content, total phenolics content, total dietary fiber, crude ash Broad genetic variability found by SSR genotyping for all three species Selected the best genotypes for pea ` Bruno`, Leili and Kirke ; for faba bean VF_002 and VF- 005 ; Bauska, Priekuļu 32 and Lielplatones Old local Latvian faba bean variety Lielplatones registered in the list of old, protected varieties

10 Key deliverables and Expected outcome Expected outcome WP3 Deliverables New rhizobial strains and arbuscular mycorhizal fungi (AMF) for enhanced Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) selected adapted to different agro-ecological conditions Rhizobium leguminosarum and Bradyrrhizobium spp. strains described More than 24 rhizobial strains 25% tested in co-inoculation with AMF for their BNF -> influnce on yield and protein outcome Strains selected and evaluated by molecular tools: 123 cowpea strains from Portugal and Greece; 82 pea and faba bean strains from Portugal, Czech Republic, Spain, Latvia, Estonia

11 Key deliverables and Expected outcome Expected outcome WP4 Innovative food and feed products from locally grown legumes New packaging technologies and materials Deliverables Technologies for production of Pâté, extruded snacks and snack bars from faba bean and pea developed and ready for commercialization Packaging solutions for all new products, for preserving quality and taste and prolong shel-flife

12 WP4 ( food) outcomes: Elaborated innovative food products Legume pâté with prolonged storage period Extruded legume snacks (sweet and salty) Bars of extruded 12 legumes

13 Key deliverables and Expected outcome Expected outcome WP5- WP6 High valuable genotypes for utilization in food and feed in particular regions/regional cropping systems Influence of Leguminous plants on soil properties in different growing systems Improvement of atmospheric N fixation, reducing chemical inputs and increasing financial competitivety of EU agriculture Deliverables High productive cultivars detected for commercial cropping systems across Europe: 10 pea, 8 faba bean, 4 cowpea local and old cultivars existing commercial cultivars Positive influence on the soil properties Existing and developed new technologies for C sequestration for reducing GHG emissions evaluated
