Starting up the local cultivation and processing of sustainable organic soy for food presents a major challenge for Flanders.
Catching rhizobia to introduce high protein containing soybean for a sustainable agriculture in Flanders
The aim of this Grand Challenge project is to engage at least 1000 citizens and their gardens to help acquire native rhizobia from Flemish soils that are able to efficiently nodulate soybean.
