The challenges

Oilseed and protein crops are not competitive with the dominant crops in the crop rotation. The National Strategy for Vegetable Proteins aims to significantly increase the acreage of these crops, enabling France to make up part of its shortfall in protein-rich materials. One of the levers for increasing the competitiveness of these crops, and legumes in particular, is to improve genetic progress for these species by increasing varietal renewal on the farm.

The objectives

  • Accelerate the development of pulse varieties adapted to French production conditions;
  • Increase the use of recent varieties in crop rotation for seed legumes (self-pollinating species);
  • Optimize the choice of oilseed and protein crop varieties to meet market demands in terms of protein content, or adaptation to difficult production contexts.

Expected results

  • Creation of a cooperative scheme with Mediterranean ambitions for the varietal improvement of pulses
  • Communicate on high-performance varieties adapted to production constraints and the needs of protein-rich commodity chains.
