Farmers like Matin Baig are expanding soybean production across Afghanistan.
Soybeans are rich in protein, healthy fats and fiber. They help to improve nutrition, feed people and livestock, improve soil health and support farmer incomes.

🫘 #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! 🍽️💚
@olleolleolle Thank you. And thanks Deepl for translating the Danish. Maybe I should put Deepl to work on the song lyrics.
The sad part is that according to Copenhagen University research, the Danes are still not eating enough legumes, whatever the fuck they are.
European consumption of pulses doesn’t stack up against national dietary recommendations – with Denmark in last place. This is the finding of a new EU-funded study by the University of Copenhagen as part of the “FOODENGINE” programme. According to the researchers, the low consumption is mainly due to a lack of awareness and tradition.
