Title	"Closing the legume gap for increased protein security in Europe" ＜Abstract＞ European legume hectarage has grown slowly over the last few decades and is marked by substantial yield variability. Grain legume cultivation in Europe is subjected to a variety of biotic and abiotic stressors, which lead to yield gap. Dr. Omari’s talk will give an overview of legume production in Europe with respect to the status, progress, prospects, as well as challenges connected with incorporating them into the cropping system. The talk will highlight on research studies and findings specific to the agro-climates of Central Europe that aim to diversify cropping systems, increase crop yield and protein security, as well as ecosystem services delivery.
