World Pulses Day was February 10th — a celebration of lentils, beans, chickpeas, and dried peas.

These humble ingredients are the backbone of cuisines worldwide. Every culture figured it out: pulses are cheap, filling, nutritious, and delicious.

Three recipes from three regions.

#TopicOfTheDay: Intercropping with #Pulses 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 #ClimateChange mitigation by reducing dependence on the synthetic fertilizers used to introduce nitrogen artificially into the soil. #WorldPulsesDay
