Описание к видео World Pulses Day - Recognizing pulses' importance as a global sustainable FOOD

It's World Pulses Day! Today we join with the United Nations in celebrating this nutritious, budget friendly, and environmentally sustainable food source! Since pulses have a low water and carbon footprint, it's a perfect fit for sustainable food production. It also has the ability to fix its own nitrogen, improving soil quality while also reducing input costs for crop producers.

Debra McLennan, Food and Nutrition Coordinator with Alberta Pulse Growers, tells us more about this wonderful legume such as their nutritional and environmental benefits, and why we should celebrate it!
