Here is your answer mate...
Explanation:
The Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture organized this event to highlight the role of pulses in enhancing the sustainability of agricultural cropping systems. Pulses contribute to increased food security, human health and wealth and can help mitigate the effects of climate change. A variety of pulses and pulse plants were displayed with their nitrogen-fixing roots and nodules visible. Also presented were mutant pulse varieties that have been officially released in Member States. A slide show and infographic materials summarised the important role of pulses, and different pulse foods were cooked for tasting. Pulses contain plant-based proteins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients in human diets and cover about 57.3 million hectares with a global production of 40 million tones. They are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen through nodules in the soil and reduce the need for industrial nitrogen fertilizers and therefore boost soil fertility, are environmentally-friendly and provide a more sustainable crop yield.
