Professor Alan Matthews writes: 'The Protein Project has just published this beautifully-produced report with detailed analysis and recommendations for a coordinated value chain approach to bringing protein crops back into the mainstream of European arable farming. Using the fava bean (also known as broad beans) as its exemplar, it makes a convincing case for what is needed for a protein crop strategy to succeed.
Broad beans are a particular favourite of mine, I have strong memories of sitting in the summer sunshine by the kitchen door as a child shelling broad beans that my father had just picked from the vegetable garden, but it is not easy to find them in supermarket aisles today.'
The report can be found here and is a significant contribution to the debate about more economically and environmentally sustainable policies: https://www.theproteinproject.eu/publications/towards-a-legume-renaissance
