World Pulses Day

February 10

The UN declared 2016 as the International Year of Pulses, to heighten public awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production aimed towards food security and nutrition to help reach the 2050 sustainability goals. Thanks to its success, February 10th was proclaimed “World Pulses Day” by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 20, 2018. Every year, Legumechef along with hundreds of other associations, companies and individuals celebrate World Pulses Day by hosting events to encourage awareness of pulses throughout the food chain.
