An increasing population is the strongest challenge t produce to d nott only l more ffood d but also more plant-derived products According to FAO, the world agrarian production should duplicate for 2050 to guarantee food for a world population of about 9.000 million inhabitants
TO FULFILL THE NEEDS, WE HAVE TO INCREASE THE PRODUCTION IN A SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE MAINTAINING THE POTENTIAL OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND EVEN IMPROVING IT IS A MUST
INCREASING FOOD CHALLENGES Impact on climatic change E i Environmental t l impacts i t off agriculture i lt Rising cost of food products Food safety Public resistance to chemical use
NEW CROPS ARE INDEED NEEDED, BUT WHY NOT TO START WITH IMPROVING AND EVEN REMODELLING TRADITIONAL CROPS…?
ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT DO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE THE FERTILITY OF THE SOIL WHILE PROVIDING FOOD AND FEED FOR EXAMPLE, PULSES
BUT... Pulses: world cultivated area 100 Millones 90 Soya NO ha 80 CHANGES Cultivated area (2000‐2008) M h Garbanzos 70 Habas Guisantes 60 Pulses Alt Altramuz (faba Caupí ha 50 beans) Frijoles secos 40 still Guandú are Lentejas Common beans (dry) the Veza poor man Sojafood 30 20 Other pulses C 10 Faba beans 0 2000 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2008 2006 FAOSTAT, 2009
The reason is a very low research work on pulses M ha Main crops at world level Wheat 250 Rice Maize 200 Soya (oil crop) Barley 150 Sorghum Millet 100 Cotton B Beans (Phaseolus Ph l ) 50 Sunflower Sugar cane 0 Potato
Yields, in general 1t/ha / 20 ha 15 10 t 5 0 beans chickpeass cowpea lentils lupins Faba beans peas vetch

TO SUCCEED IS POSSIBLE
AGRICULTURAL REFORMS…
…AND AND BREEDING EFFORTS

BUT VERY LITTLE CAN BE ACHIEVED WORKING IN ISOLATION
THE GREATER SUCCESS ON FABA BEAN IN THE PAST WAS POSSIBLE WITHIN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
IN THE 70-80’s: 0 80’ EEC C (=EU) ( ) and ICARDA C SINCE LATE 70s: NILE VALLEY PROJECT LATE IN THE 80s 80s-90s: 90s: EU projects CAMAR (coord. Univ. Córdoba) TRANSLEG (coord. Univ. Berlín) EUFABA (coord. IAS, España) GLIP (coord. (coord JIC, JIC Norwich, Norwich GB)
ALL THESE PROGRAMS PRODUCED NEW MATERIALS, MATERIALS NEW GENES, NEW KNOWLEDGE, KNOWLEDGE NEW METHODS… …AND THE FEELING OF BELONGING TO ONE SINGLE BUT GREAT TEAM
A good example of collaboration 3 QTLs (Torres et al., 2006) Orobanche crenata F.A. Lohmüller, 2005 Zeid, Ghazy and Link, 2006 59
