🫘 #Pulses are the future! Do you know why?

#Legumes can fix nitrogen from the air, thanks to a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria.
This makes their seeds a protein-rich food option, and contributes to their many advantages :

🌍 #Sustainable crops: strengthen the resilience of farming systems while promoting #ClimateChange mitigation and #biodiversity

🫀 Nutritious and healthy: high protein, fiber, vitamin and antioxidant content, low-fat

💰 Low production and buying costs: increase #foodsecurity

🥗 Interesting culinary properties for more fun dishes: colorful, unique flavors and textures

Let’s put more pulses on our plates! 🍽️💚

: Intercropping with increases farm biodiversity and creates a more diverse landscape for animals and insects.

The nitrogen-fixing properties of pulses can improve soil fertility, which improves and extends the productivity of farmland.

Pulses can contribute to mitigation by reducing dependence on the synthetic fertilizers used to introduce nitrogen artificially into the soil.
