I am very excited to hear 2016 has been declared ‘Year of the Pulses’. Here is the press release from the International Pulse Trade and Industries Confederation (IPTIC)<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Issued by International Pulse Trade and Industries Confederation, Head Office DUBAI, UAE December 20, 2013<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pulses \u2013 the healthiest grain foods in the world – have captured the attention of the United Nations. Today, the General Assembly of the UN voted to declare 2016 as the \u201cInternational Year of Pulses.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an extraordinary day for the global pulse industry\u201d<\/em> declared Hakan Bahceci, President of the global pulses peak body, CICILS IPTIC. \u201cBeans, lentils, peas and chickpeas have been the cornerstone of global nutrition for centuries. Having a UN dedicated year will raise the level of awareness of pulses and the important role they can play in health and nutrition, food security and environmental sustainability.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beyond traditional markets, pulses have steadily increased in popularity as people around the world recognize their appeal as nutritious, versatile foods that are essential to healthy diets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The idea of a year dedicated to recognizing the role of pulses in sustainable agriculture and healthy diets was conceived by Hakan Bahceci over two years ago, when CICILS IPTIC commenced work to raise awareness within the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) of the importance of pulses in these areas. Through the determined support of the several countries, in particular Turkey and Pakistan, and the support of the governments of all major producing and consuming countries world wide, the International Year of Pulses was today passed by the UN General Assembly meeting in New York.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“This is the greatest opportunity in a century to give pulses the attention they deserve. Pulses can help to increase food security for those with shortages and to tackle the increase of diseases linked to lifestyles such as obesity and diabetes. Plus, they improve cropping systems and are good for farmers,”<\/em> said Hakan. “The International Year of Pulses will give pulses additional research attention and nutritional programming, which will lead to dietary uptake. Increased pulse consumption will grow both healthy people and a healthy planet. We deeply appreciate the United Nation’s dedication to the task.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CICILS IPTIC has set aside $1.1 million as a preliminary reserve to fund activities related to the Year. A series of national committees are being established around the world by CICILS members to work with their governments, farmers, NGOs, retailers, food manufacturers, health & science organizations and UN bodies to make the year a success globally and in each country.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWith rates of diabetes and obesity on the rise around the world, the International Year of Pulses presents an opportunity to recognize pulses for their exceptional potential to offer nutritional well being to people everywhere,\u201d<\/em> said Hakan. \u201c2016 will also be an important occasion to learn about the world\u2019s wonderful pulse culinary traditions, and to discover new ways to create healthier foods in the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
