Five ways pulses impact our world
1. Nutrition
Pulses are some of the most nutritious crops on the planet.
2. Health
They offer one of the best investments in your heart and overall health.
3. Climate Change
Their cultivation helps reduce greenhouse gases and provides increased carbon sequestration which is good for the planet.
4. Biodiversity
Pulses improve soil fertility and nourish crops planted alongside them.
5. Food security
They are a low-cost crop for farmers, they flourish in arid lands and have a long shelf life.
