Preface
The Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations projects that global population will increase 10.8 billion by 2080, representing an increase by 47% in the future.1 In such context, worldwide agricultural and food production systems are being challenged to provide enough food to meet the growing demands. Nowadays, agriculture has also to address the sustainable use of existing natural resources while tackling the challenges associated with the impact of climate change. The cultivation of Fabaceae plants, commonly known as legumes, emerges as one of the relevant approaches to tackle these challenges. This plant family with 800 genera and 20,000 species,2 being the second most economically important family of plants after Poaceae, encloses many benefits for agricultural and food sustainability. Due to their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen by establishing sy
