Refined forage legumes as local sources of protein feed for monogastrics and high quality fibre feed for ruminants in organic production

Summary

• Lack of local protein feed for monogastrics in organic farming
Challenges addressed by the project
• Protein-rich fractions of forage legumes are difficult to preserve
• Little knowledge about feed value of fractionated forage legumes
• Introducing local food systems requires knowledge about the actors
attitudes, motivations and ability to deal with risk management
• Food systems must be economically, socially and environmentally sustainable
