INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PULSES 2016
The 68th UN General Assembly declared 2016 the International Year of Pulses (IYP). The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been nominated to facilitate the implementation of the Year in collaboration with Governments, relevant organizations, non-governmental organizations and all other relevant stakeholders.
The IYP 2016 aims to heighten public awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production aimed towards food security and nutrition. The Year will create a unique opportunity to encourage connections throughout the food chain that would better utilize pulse-based proteins, further global production of pulses, better utilize crop rotations and address the challenges in the trade of pulses.
IMPORTANCE OF PULSES
- Pulses provide a vital source of plant-based proteins and amino acids for people around the globe, ensuring food security.
- As part of a healthy diet high in fiber, pulses fight obesity.
- Pulses also prevent and help manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, coronary conditions, and cancer.
- Pulses are an important source of plant-based protein for livestock.
- Pulses pull nitrogen from the air into the soil, increasing soil fertility.
- Pulses use less water than most other protein crops, making them a sustainable agricultural choice.
