This video was recorded as part of the SoniaProQ course. It shows what types of soya feed products exist and how they differ. In general, the residual fat content determines which processing product is produced soybean meal, soybean cake, or soybean oil.
This report presents a practical European roadmap to strengthen and scale protein crops, using fava beans as a concrete lens to show what is possible across both food and feed. Co-created with farmers (conventional, organic, regenerative), input providers, processors, retailers, food service, researchers and civil society, it maps today’s barriers and sets out coordinated policy and market solutions that work across farming systems. It translates these insights into concrete recommendations for key EU and national policy frameworks, including the CAP, CMO, NRP, ECF, and the Public Procurement Directive. By focusing in depth on fava beans while keeping recommendations transferable to other legumes, the roadmap shows how protein crops can reduce dependence on imported feed and fertilisers, improve soil health and biodiversity, and boost farm profitability and resilience. It quantifies the impact of these measures on farmer incomes, production volumes and strategic autonomy, and illustrates what a “Legume Renaissance” could deliver for European agriculture and diets by 2040.
Components of the pre-crop effect The pre-crop effect includes two elements: the nitrogen effect and the break crop effect. The nitrogen effect is the provision of nitrogen to the following crop through the nitrogen carried over in the residue from the previous...
Outcome Useful knowledge on cultivating faba bean and pea under Nordic conditions. Uses of the crops The most common grain legumes grown in the Nordic countries are pea (Pisum sativum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba L.). Both provide a good break crop in...
