The ProSys project aimed to identify agronomically efficient protein-based cropping systems that can adapt to the context of climate change, meet environmental challenges, are economically viable and represent an acceptable alternative for farmers and the industry. The potential of production and environmental constraints encountered by legumes, under current conditions and in the context of climate change, were studied. In addition, an experiment was conducted to study the previous effect of different legume species. An innovation tracking has allowed to identify and analyze protein-producing cropping systems that have been tested by farmers in the region who are satisfied with them. The positive environmental impacts and the interest for the global production of proteins of cropping systems with legumes were evaluated through long-term experimental follow-ups. Finally, the modalities of changing farmers' practices towards plant protein producing systems were analyzed. The creation of working groups with agricultural education and professionals from the agricultural world has enabled the development of a set of tools and communication media to promote the results of the program.
