英国の農業部門は温室効果ガス排出の12%を占め、ネットゼロ達成には農地管理の変革が不可欠である。本研究は、英国産パルス（特にソラマメ）の作付拡大が年間340万トンCO2換算の排出削減につながる可能性を示し、研究と実践のギャップを埋める「変革理論」を提案する。農民参加型の研究設計と知識交換が長期的な土地利用変化に重要であると結論づける。
English
UK agriculture contributes 12% of national GHG emissions. This paper uses the case of faba beans to show that increasing pulse cultivation could cut emissions by 3.4 Mt CO2e annually (7% of agricultural emissions), mainly by reducing nitrogen fertilizer use and soybean meal imports. It proposes a farmer-focused theory of change for lasting impact, emphasizing co-designed research and on-farm trials.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract The UK is facing increasing pressure to achieve net zero emissions to limit environmental damage and climate change. The agricultural sector contributes 12% of UK anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus has a crucial role in reducing UK total emissions. Despite knowledge and solutions being generated by agricultural research projects, many struggle to make impactful and measurable change which lasts beyond the lifetime of a short funding cycle. In this paper, we use the lack of uptake of UK‐grown pulses, especially faba beans, despite their large potential for cutting carbon emissions, as an example of the gap between research and land management change. Despite their well‐known environmental and nutritional benefits, pulses only comprise an estimated 5% (1 in 20) of UK arable rotations, compared to the rotational maximum of 20% (1 in 5), a switch which would reduce GHG emissions by 3.4 Mt CO 2 equivalent ( e ) per annum. This would be equivalent to 7% of UK agricultural emissions, mainly achieved through reducing mineral nitrogen fertiliser usage and replacing soybean meal in livestock rations. While it is recognised that this 3.4 Mt per year target reduction cannot be achieved in the duration of a 4‐year research programme, we propose a “theory of change” for maximising lasting impact that can be followed when designing future agricultural research programmes. Using the Nitrogen Climate Smart (NCS) project as a case study, we demonstrate a pathway to impact through meaningful farmer engagement, co‐designed research questions, on‐farm trials and knowledge exchange, essential to delivering long‐term and long‐lasting shifts in land management practice and climate impact, alongside bridging the gap between research, practice and policy.
