February 10 - World Pulses Day
Why This Day Is Special
This day highlights the nutritional benefits of pulses (dry beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas) and their significant contribution to sustainable food systems and global food security. Pulses are a vital source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential micronutrients, playing a crucial role in healthy diets. They also contribute to sustainable agriculture by fixing nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. It promotes pulses as a smart choice for both people and the planet.

This builds on the success of the 2016 International Year of Pulses. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the environmental and health benefits of pulses. It encourages their inclusion in dietary guidelines and agricultural policies.
