Reports Highlights How Soils and Pulses Work Together

A new report explores how nitrogen-fixing plants enhance nutritious diets, carbon sequestration and soil fertility.

Soil and pulses can make major contributions to the challenge of feeding the world's growing population and combating climate change, especially when deployed together, according to Soils and Pulses: Symbiosis for Life, a new report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization released on World Soil Day.

"Soils and pulses embody a unique symbiosis that protects the environment, enhances productivity, contributes to adapting to climate change and provides fundamental nutrients to the soil and subsequent crops," said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.
