Question

what is the role of pulses in lowering water and carbon footprint

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Pulses lower water and carbon footprint as :
1) They have very low CO 2 output

2) They absorb water that is shallower in the soil. This helps to conserve the deeper water for the next planting season.
