Increasing the safety of the domestic organic protein base for food and feed purposes, through varietal and cultivation trials in a national small plot and on-farm research system
Dry summers with hot days are increasingly making it impossible to grow protein crops successfully. This is why the focus is on autumn-sown species and varieties. Taking advantage of autumn-winter rainfall can create opportunities for safer domestic production of a food and feed protein base.
The aim of our research is to increase the safety of the domestic organic protein base for food and feed purposes, through varietal and cultivation trials, including alternative plant species, in a national small plot and on-farm research system.
Activities
- Inclusion of alternative crop species in crop rotation (winter peas, winter lentils, extra short duration soya, millet, chickpeas).
- Developing technological solutions with cover or support crops, with early sowing of extra short duration soybeans.
- Improving processing, on the one hand, by broadening the feed base, i.e. pelleting of high-protein stalks (peas, lentils, soya), enriched with useful litter from seed cleaning and other agricultural by-products that can be dried naturally.
- Experimental extension of the range of alternative protein crop products as food.
Expected results
- A technological summary of successful cultivation solutions for alternative protein crops.
- Regional species and variety recommendations for organic production.
- Development of a product trail with the involvement of stakeholders.
