World Pulses Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses and their contribution to sustainable food systems and a world without hunger.

The 2022 World Pulses Day’s theme is: “Pulses to empower youth in achieving sustainable agri-food systems”. The event will hold virtually on 10 February 2022 at 12:30-14:30 CET.

The programme of the event will be focused on testimonies and perspectives of youth organizations’ representatives. The pulses sector includes a wide range of actors and provides employment to rural women and youth in farming communities and to urban families in the manufacturing sector. Pulses, therefore, contribute to creating livelihood opportunities and equity, which are essential for sustainable agrifood systems.
