What are the prospects and challenges for pulses for sustainable food security?
Can you tell me about the prospects and challenges for pulses for sustainable food security?
Sure! Pulses have a lot of potential as a sustainable source of protein and other nutrients. They also have benefits for soil health and can be grown with fewer inputs than some other crops. However, there are also challenges to increasing pulse production and consumption, including limited consumer awareness, high post-harvest losses, and agronomic constraints such as susceptibility to pests and diseases. Would you like me to look up more information on this topic?
