Leaflet - Building on the success of the International Year of Pulses (IYP) in 2016 implemented by FAO and recognising the potential of pulses to further achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) designated 10 February as World Pulses Day (WPD). This celebration provides a unique opportunity to raise public awareness about pulses and the fundamental role they play in the transformation of current agriculture into a more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind.
