Based on contributions from members of the Legumes Future research
consortium and complemented by articles from other research teams,
this book provides a comprehensive overview of knowledge relevant
to developing legume-supported cropping systems in Europe. It
reflects the growing interest in using legumes to improve cropping
and the current debate over the imbalance in European systems where
the low use of legumes has caused concern in the agricultural
policy community. This book supports informed debate and
decision-making that addresses the associated challenges. Legumes
in Cropping Systems presents current knowledge on this subject
across 15 coordinated chapters. Each chapter addresses a specific
aspect of legume cropping and provides insight into the relevant
literature to help support understanding and explore the underlying
processes that influence cropping system development. This book
includes coverage of: * the role of legumes in cropping systems; *
the role of legumes in European protein supplies; * environmental
effects of grain and forage legumes; * current status of the major
grain and forage legume crops; * economic effects; and * policy
development. Written by an international team of expert authors and
presented in full-colour throughout, this book is an invaluable
resource for researchers in agronomy and crop sciences,
agricultural professionals, policy makers, and students.
