The latest newsletter from Legume Legacy features details on Meret Meret Kaspereit's interdisciplinary secondment on in vitro rumen fermentation and methane analysis at the University of Reading
Earlier this year, Meret undertook an interdisciplinary secondment at the University of Reading. Despite an unexpected snowstorm disrupting her journey from Aarhus, Denmark, she arrived ready to begin an intensive period of hands-on research training.
What is Legume Legacy?
With the European Green Deal, the EU has committed to transition to carbon-neutral and sustainable systems of agriculture. LegumeLegacy aims to adapt existing mixed or ruminant based production systems, using state of the art knowledge from ecology, agronomy, statistics and other fields to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient inputs and leaching (and costs), while increasing carbon stocks, biodiversity and yield stability. To achieve this, an exceptional and distinctive strategy of LegumeLegacy includes a common experiment across multiple LegumeLegacy sites; 11 Doctoral Researchers will collaborate on the common experiment and have their own distinctive and complementary research objectives.
