Question

Role of pulses in lowering water and carbon footprint in about 50 words

Answer 1

Food production,along with transportation and energy production have large impacts on greenhouse gas concentrations in our atmosphere. Agriculture alone accounts for 10-12% of global greenhouse gas emissions .pulses use half the non-renewable energy inputs of other crops,pulses require little or no nitrogen fertilizers,due to the ability to biologically fix nitrogen from the air.

another answer:-

Pulses have low water foot prints. Water footprints for beef is 43 times higher than pulses.Pulses etract water from a shallower depth, leaving more water deep in the soil for the following year’s crop. It also has low carbon footprints. Study shows 1 kg pulses only emits 0.5kg of CO2  whereas I kg beef produces 9.5 kg of CO2
