Greetings:
It gives me great pleasure to contribute something on this Forum. In my country Ethiopia, pulses are a very important part of the food system. From my experience, every farmer grows a combination of cereals, pulses, oil seeds etc in a piece of land.
Pulses are consumed almost in every household in different forms. Among them we have "Shiro wet" which is cooked from the powder of beans and which is the most common all over the country. There are also a lot of advantages our farmers get from pulses. For instance, they are used for intercropping with cereals to improve soil fertility, as green manuring, and as animal feed among many other uses.
