Résumé anglais
Legumes constitute one of the most important groups of crop production. They are particularly attractive for livestock production because of their unique ability to fix the atmospheric nitrogen biologically. This review presents the high potential of legume-based systems, by indicating their socioeconomic and environmental benefits for sustainable agriculture and livestock production. Lower chemical nitrogen inputs, efficiency in crop rotation combined with higher yields, increased soil productivity, applicability in mixed farming systems as well as improvement of livestock production are considered as highly significant advantages associated with the cultivation of legumes. Despite these advantages and expectations, their cultivation meets some constraints which limit their potential. Further research and increasing knowledge are required, in order to overcome challenges at the production and market level.
