Celebrating our first full year of activity!

Welcome to uklrc.org, the virtual home of the UK Legume Research Community!

Whether you are involved in academic research, production and processing of legume crops or are an end user of legume-derived products, we hope these pages will help connect people with a shared passion for legumes, understanding how they work and how their extraordinary potential to benefit human health and the environment can best be realised.

Following the success of our 2024 meeting at the University of Reading, we are pleased to announce that UKLRC2025 will again be jointly organised with the Defra Pulse Crop Genetic Improvement Network Annual Stakeholder meeting and are kindly hosted from February 25-27th at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Details of the UKLRC2025 programme will be updated here.
