Scientia potentia est: knowledge is power. But understanding empowers.

The purpose of the Legume Hub is to empower all interested in the development of legume crop production and use by providing access to validated knowledge. It is a platform dedicated to sharing knowledge and successful practices across value chains, from plant breeding, on-farm activities, through to processing and consumption.

The Hub is a multi-lingual publishing platform featuring written, spoken and visual media. Self-published articles form its core. Each article is attributed to its author(s) and their organisations. All articles published through the Hub are subject to independent peer-review and each is citable as a scientific or technical publication. The Hub editors strive to ensure contributors can be proud of their work published on the Hub. The Legume Hub is governed by the members of the European Legume Hub Community. All users involved in the development of legume production and use are invited to join the Legume Hub Community by registering as a member. Members have increased access to the Hub’s resources and are able to contact other members. Members are welcome to contribute to the Hub by creating a personal profile related to their legume work, publishing articles and providing information about their projects.
