Every year the problem of overpopulation of the planet becomes more and more dangerous To survive, humanity needs constant resources, and the most important thing, without which it is impossible to survive, is food Total hunger no longer seems such an illusory problem as before This problem is increasingly being raised at the congresses of the UN General Assembly One possible solution, according to many experts, is leguminous crops According to one of the UN initiatives, 2016 was declared the World Year of Pulses, and already in 2018, the government of the Republic of Burkina Faso at the next congress made a proposal to declare February 10 as World Pulses Day This way, humanity will have the opportunity to remember that today it is worth using all opportunities to avoid world hunger When it comes to legumes, most people will name peas, beans, lentils and soybeans Humanity learned to cultivate them a long time ago Ripe grains in pods, sometimes young pods, are eaten Every cuisine in the world has traditional dishes whose main ingredient is legumes What's the secret? Legumes have many benefits: With all their advantages, legumes also have a low cost, so growing legumes in certain regions can already solve the problem of hunger today Pulses are ideal for growing on an agricultural scale, especially in the arid African climate They help improve soil fertility, do not require special care and are unpretentious to watering and fertilizers But the harvested crop can be stored for a long time The International UN Organization created the World Pulses Day holiday in order to attract governments of different countries, private farmers and large agricultural producers to popularize the cultivation of legumes in their regions, as well as to constantly improve cultivation and storage methods Only through joint efforts can we achieve results and prevent world hunger!
