GL-TTP mission
The mission of GL-TTP is to provide enabling tools in order to:
1- increase grain legume production through the use of more robust varieties and improved crop management,
2- improve and diversify grain legume products for the feed and food industry through better grain quality and new processing techniques.

Initial focus
GL-TTP will initially focus on the interaction between research scientists and plant breeders in order to facilitate and expedite the genetic improvement of grain legume varieties to suit the needs expressed by the grain legume producers and end-users.

The way to go
To reach these objectives, GL-TTP commits, as written in its statutes:
1- to form a durable partnership between research and industry in the international grain legume community,
2- to provide its members with all information, advice and expertise necessary for their exploitation of the results of GLIP and of any other research programmes relevant to grain legumes,
3- to propose and to commission research and development activities for its members,
4- to contribute to the design of tools, methodology and know-how for commercial application of the results of grain legume research.

Cooperation first
GL-TTP adopts a strategy to stimulate cooperation between organisations to minimise the cost of technology transfer throughout the integrated chain of grain legumes.
