#Groundswell25 was fantastic!
🫚 Annual date with a chicory #taproot in the #soil pit @ADASGroup stand. 🫘 Beans & pulses talk: Cultural acceptance, school meals, diversity, price, risk on farm & connecting breeders and producers. Highlight, was meeting so many lovely people.
Off the back of our lovely Legumes meeting at the University of Reading earlier this month we are happy to announce this special issue of Annals of Applied Biology!
