🌱 Explore the world of #Soybean production and processing! 🌱 Are you a soybean processor, agricultural educator, consultant or farmer looking to deepen your knowledge and skills?   The part-time certified course „Grundlagen der Soja – Verarbeitung und Verwertung in der Tierproduktion“ could be just what you're looking for!   📅 Start Date: 26 February 2025 💡 What to Expect: 7 modules with a mix of online and in-person learning. A deep dive into soybean production, processing, and the fundamentals of animal nutrition. 2 practical days with visits to small processors and a hands-on look at NIRS technology for soybean property detection. Note that the course, developed by #Sonia-ProQ, is held in German. 🇩🇪 Registration deadline: 31 January 2025 #Soybean #Agriculture #AnimalNutrition #ProfessionalDevelopment

#LegumeGenerationCrops The project aims to boost the breeding of 6 legume crops! Let's start with #soybean! The project will: 1⃣support breeding innovation through the European Soybean Improvement Network (ESIN); 2⃣ boost soybean breeding for yield and adaptation to a range of environments; 3⃣ improve end-use quality features of soybean both for feeding and for human food.

The #LegumeGeneration 6⃣ Innovation Communities are supported by key objectives to enhance legume breeding: 🔹Digital knowledge centre: Establishing a digital hub cataloging legume species, traits, and breeding methods for easy access by all stakeholders. 🔹Training: Offering training to boost breeding success based on community needs. 🔹Species improvement: Providing breeders with new resources like genotypes and cost-effective selection methods. 🔹 Governance and Finance Models: Developing effective methods, governance, and business plans through at least 15 case studies. 🔹 Phenotyping, screening and testing: Supporting the testing and demonstration of new cultivars in various regions with expert trait groups and standardized methods. 🔹 Dissemination and Communication: Expanding the European Legume Hub to share knowledge and best practices. ✅These objectives will streamline breeding efficiency through centralized support in data management, genetic tools, phenotyping, training, and financial analysis. ℹ️ Learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/eg9J3r8i #legumebreeding

The #LegumeGeneration project is all about boosting innovation in breeding the next generation of legume crops for Europe🇪🇺. 🤝 This effort is driven by 6⃣ Innovation Communities, each focused on a specific legume species: 🔹soybean 🔹lupin 🔹pea 🔹lentil 🔹phaseolus bean 🔹white and red clover ⏫ These communities combine the entrepreneurial skills of breeders with the creative insights of researchers to improve breeding practices and make legumes more competitive with major crops like wheat. Their work focuses on enhancing crop yields, improving stress tolerance, optimizing resource efficiency, and boosting nutritional quality. 🌟 We've already introduced these Innovation Communities in previous posts! Check them out to learn which partners are involved in each community and why boosting these crops is so vital for Europe’s future. 📝 The innovation communities remain open to new members to ensure long-term sustainability! ℹ️ Learn more about the ICs and take a look at the dedicated posters to explore the objectives, approaches and activities of each community:👉 https://lnkd.in/erh9XiW7 #legumebreeding #soybean #lupin #pea #lentil #phaseolusbean #clover #EUBiodiversity #EUFarm2Fork #EUGreenDeal

🌾 #MICROBIOMES4SOY is now part of the LegumeHubEU— Europe’s leading platform for knowledge-sharing on legumes. The Legume Hub is a platform dedicated to sharing knowledge and successful practices across value chains, from plant breeding, on-farm activities, to processing and consumption.  As a member of the Legume Hub, Microbiomes4Soy strengthens its mission to enhance legume value chains, notably of the soya bean, through microbiome science and promote environmentally resilient agricultural practices. Donau Soja Organisation, a partner in the Microbiomes4Soy project, manages the Legume Hub, ensuring that this vital platform continues to foster innovation, sustainability, and knowledge sharing. All research project teams that support the development and use of legume crops are welcome to use the Legume Hub as a communication platform.  🌱 We look forward to collaborating, sharing insights, and contributing to sustainable legume-based food systems!

🚨 Last chance to register! 🚨 Don’t miss the Workshop: “Soy treatment – From cultivation to the end product” on 4-5 December 2024, hosted by the International Research Association of Feed Technology (IFF Braunschweig) and Donau Soja Organisation. 🌱 This event dives deep into the entire soybean value chain—from cultivation to final product. Next to relevant basic and applied knowledge, the focus will be put on the correlations and mechanisms of the thermal and hydrothermal treatment of soy. Participation will also be certified. A great course for quality managers in soya processing companies and everyone in the soybean sector, including farmers, cooperatives, traders, feed manufacturers, and researchers! 🔗Registration is still possible – find all details here: https://lnkd.in/dU3WJA4U #DonauSoja #EuropeSoya #Soya #Soybean #QualityManagement #Agriculture #Sustainability #IFFBraunschweig

🌊🐟 This #WorldFisheriesDay, we’re paving the way for sustainable aquaculture! Sustainable fisheries and aquaculture are key to building fair, healthy, and climate-resilient food systems that protect aquatic ecosystems and prioritise high animal welfare. At #MICROBIOMES4SOY, we’re working to support this vision by developing innovative, plant-based solutions for aquaculture:  ✅ Soya-based aquafeeds that nourish fish while promoting environmental sustainability  ✅ High protein diets to replace traditional fish meal, addressing the challenges of limited availability, high costs, and environmental impact By shifting towards more sustainable aquafeed sources based on soya beans, we’re contributing to:  🍀 Healthier and more sustainable diets for humans and animals  🐠 Affordable, high-quality, and safe feed options for aquaculture  🌍 A more climate-neutral food system With aquaculture being one of the fastest-growing food sectors, adopting European-grown soya beans as a sustainable aquafeed source helps ensure nutritional quality and supports marine biodiversity. 🌱
