Legato Newsletter No.2 


United Kingdom
July 13, 2015

February 2015 saw the LEGATO consortium reunited on the shores of the Baltic Sea at Alnarp, near Malmö in Sweden. The occasion was the first annual project meeting, hosted by the Swedish Agricultural University, and followed by a stakeholder meeting on the subject of ″brakes and levers on grain legume production for feed and food″. The latter event was organized jointly with LegSA (Legumes for Sustainable Agriculture), the Scandinavian Legume Interest group, who held their annual meeting during the same day. This enabled both participating groups to profit from an exciting programme of invited speakers.

Legato Newsletter 2In this newsletter we report on some of the highlights of the stakeholder meeting (page 2 onwards). Besides numerous participants from SLU and members of the LegSA network, we were accompanied by two members of the LEGATO Advisory Board, Professors Judith Lichtenzveig (Curtin University, Australia) and Robert Rees, (Scottish Agricultural College, UK). Their report is now available on the project-internal platform. Many thanks to Georg Carlsson and Erik Steen Jensen, our hosts at SLU, for all their efforts, and to Partnership Alnarp, for generously supporting this event! And a special mention to the SLU restaurant chefs for their excellent gourmet legume menus!!
