In this H2020 project (TRUE/transition paths to sustainable legume-based systems in Europe), 24 project partners from 10 European countries have gotten together to explore and develop sustainable legume-based farming systems and agri-feed and food chains in the EU between 2016 and 2021.

Agri Kulti contributed to the research project with a comprehensive case study on how to use pulses in short food supply chains by (re)introducing and enhancing traditional legume varieties into urban gastronomy. During the 5-year project traditional Hungarian pulse varieties were cultivated by small and medium-scale farmers, processed into high-quality food products and tested by consumers at various scenes of urban gastronomy: from street food through catering to leading restaurants. The case study also involved one of the state-run gene banks of Hungary.
