In the updated Swedish dietary guidelines launched earlier this year, both whole grains and legumes have been given greater emphasis. According to the Swedish Food Agency, the recommendation on whole grains has the greatest impact on public health, while legumes now have their own guideline – a sign of their growing importance in a sustainable diet.
In an interview, Professor Leif Bülow summarises the research within ScanOats, a Swedish oat initiative at Lund University in which Lantmännen and several partners participate.
The issue also includes an article on Lantmännen Research Foundation’s focus on new technologies driving the future of farming. It highlights how collaboration between research, industry and end users enables new technologies to be tested and implemented in real farming systems.
