Upcoming Global Bean Project Event:
Educating People of All Ages about Legumes
Join us online in our Zoom Meeting: Tuesday 18th February 2025 | 17:00 – 18:30 CET
In Europe, production and consumption of dry legume seeds as food is still strikingly low, in comparison to other continents and given their numerous benefits. However, there are many examples of successful cultivation and consumption of pulses, driven by cooperation between stakeholders.
Karin Pirhofer will introduce interactive ways to teach complex topics like soil biodiversity and legumes, using Joseph Cornell’s environmental education methods—can you imagine being a rhizobial bacteria?
Nicolas Carton will share insights from his work with agronomy students, who explored the benefits of legumes in cropping systems, covering nitrogen fixation, intercropping, and pest management.
After these inspiring presentations, we’ll open the floor for an interactive session where we will propose the question: Based on your experience, what is your best advice for designing and conducting cooking workshops that effectively increase participants’ capacity and willingness to include pulses in their daily cooking?
