The Luz’Co project, launched from 2016 to 2019 and co-financed by CASDAR, aims to promote forage legumes through collective initiatives. Led by FRcuma Ouest and involving 12 national partners, this action-research project explored the benefits of legumes, such as improving protein self-sufficiency and soil structure. Luz'Co seeks to overcome barriers to their adoption by encouraging collective initiatives to develop alfalfa. The project’s website, a resource center, centralizes and disseminates practical content for farmers, facilitators, and those in education and research, thus supporting the emergence of agroecological systems based on alfalfa. A presentation video of the project is also available for more information.
