coppice plus edible beans
Jerome Osentowski of CRMPI reports that the seeds of pea shrub are used as a dry bean by farmers in Alberta, Canada. Have to be boiled in one change of water.

He also coppices pea shrub very heavily which it responds well to.

nitrogen fixing shrub
Siberian pea shrub is probably the most common nitrogen fixing shrub grown in New England. You see it quite commonly and never a seedling beneath.
Beans frequently reported as a poultry fodder, but a poultry geek friend of mine reports that chickens cannot digest raw legume seeds.
