The Legu-Med research project, led by the University of Florence, aims to enhance the sustainability of chickpea and lentil cultivation in Mediterranean countries over the next three years. The project will focus on analyzing at least 200 local genotypes from various Mediterranean nations for their adaptability to climate change and yield, as well as exploring symbiotic microorganisms to boost legume yield while maintaining high environmental sustainability. This multidisciplinary project involves eleven public research bodies from eight European countries and an Italian private partner, covering aspects such as agronomic and genotypic characterization, biodiversity management, development of sustainable agricultural solutions, and socio-economic evaluation. The University of Florence will spearhead the identification of genes and markers associated with agronomic traits of interest in chickpea and lentil genotypes, supporting the project's goal of improving the sustainability and yield of these crucial legumes in the Mediterranean region.

The Legu-Med international research project, coordinated by the University of Florence, has started this year and aims to improve the production of legumes in the Mediterranean countries. The goal is to make the cultivation of chickpea and lentils, two very important legumes of the Mediterranean, more sustainable, keeping their yield such as to meet the needs of the human population through sustainable cultivation approaches that respect the environment and human health. A project that will last three years and in which eleven public research bodies from eight European countries will participate as well as an Italian private partner. To get us to explain in detail what it is we interviewed Federico Martinelli of the Biology department of the University of Florence, who coordinates the project. Federico Martinelli, how will the project seek to improve the production of legumes in the Mediterranean area? "The project is highly multidisciplinary and structured in ten activities ...
