World Pulses Day is a United Nations observance that recognises pulses such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas, and lupins as important foods for nutrition, food security, and sustainable agriculture. Pulses are affordable, protein-rich, easy to store, and can support soil health and lower-impact food systems. The day encourages learning about sustainable diets, farming, biodiversity, and the role of food in reducing hunger.

Event Suggestions:
• Create a tasting or display featuring pulses from different food traditions
• Discuss how pulses support nutrition, food security, and sustainable farming
• Map recipes using lentils, beans, chickpeas, or peas from different cultures
