The 2022 World Pulses Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production with the aim of Agri-food systems, if made more appealing and equitable to youth, are a large, untapped reservoir of employment opportunities. Agri-food systems are already the largest employer. Yet, they often do not provide decent and meaningful work or adequate livelihood opportunities.
India is the largest producer of pulses in the world, with an annual output of more than 23 million metric tons. India accounts for 25% of the global production, 27% of world pulses consumption and imports 14% of pulses in the world. In the last five-six years, due to the tireless hard work of farmers, scientists and farmer-friendly policies of the central government, the country has increased its pulses production from 140 lakh tonnes to 240 lakh tonnes. Now we also have to pay attention to future requirements.
In the above context, Krishi Jagran is organizing a Live session on “Pulses to Empower Youth in Achieving Sustainable Seed Production, Distribution & Agri-Food System” on 10th February 2022 (1400 hrs onwards).
