Narrow-leaf lupin, is a hardy annual legume widely grown across Australia. Recognised by its slender leaves, this plant is valued both for its role in agriculture and its environmental benefits.
Farmers grow lupins as a grain crop for animal feed and for their ability to improve soil health through nitrogen fixation, making them an excellent rotation partner with cereals like wheat. Sweet lupins have been bred to have very low alkaloid levels, making them safe and highly nutritious for livestock. They are also grown for use as edible cereal flour for humans.
Drought-tolerant and suited to sandy, acidic soils, narrow-leaf lupins are a staple in sustainable farming systems across southern Australia. They not only reduce the need for artificial fertilisers but also add biodiversity and resilience to farming landscapes.
