Legumes are, compared with cereals, rich in a range of secondary plant compounds. Legumes have evolved mechanisms to produce and concentrate these compounds to protect against pest and disease attack. The bioactivity of these compounds opens up non-food opportunities which are specific to legumes. This report also looks at non-traditional feed uses, such as whole-crop silage and fish feeds, examines some industrial uses of legumes in the bio-based economy, and concludes with a catalogue of recent demonstrations of the activities of bioactive compounds derived from legumes. A comprehensive gathering of such data would require hundreds of pages and thousands of references, and this document is intended to introduce the reader to the literature and present some of the more interesting highlights that are relevant in the context of European agriculture.
