Access actionable policy guidance that helps decision-makers scale legume adoption, biodiversity outcomes, and resilient agri-food value chains.
A policy brief based on VALERECO survey data from Greece, analysing the gap between legume demand and farm-level supply. It identifies low profit margins as the dominant barrier and proposes three targeted policy actions under the Greek CAP Strategic Plan.
A transnational policy brief synthesising VALERECO farmer and consumer survey findings from 7 European countries, together with insights from the joint BIOFIN-EU × VALERECO workshop at Synergy Days. It diagnoses a food-system coordination failure and recommends coordinated policy tools across CAP, public procurement, value-chain infrastructure, and transition finance to scale legume-based farming systems across Europe.
A policy brief documenting the dramatic decline of pulse production in Moldova — from ~73,000 ha in 1990 to ~36,000 ha in 2023 — against a backdrop of severe soil degradation (30% of agricultural land affected) and growing import dependency. Drawing on VALERECO project evidence, it makes the agronomic, environmental and economic case for reintroducing legumes into Moldovan crop rotations, and proposes five targeted policy measures to revive the sector and align with EU DCFTA standards.
