Legumes can fix nitrogen, support biodiversity and enhance soil structure and have an incredible impact on our diets. But we eat far too few in the UK, and those we do eat are mostly imported. The session will look at the benefits and barriers of eating more pulses for farmers, the soil, planet and human health. Pulses offer a high protein, low-cost, high fibre solution. Increasing UK production will benefit to farmers, public and planetary health. We will discuss the opportunities barriers and why it is important to change public perception to drive up consumption.
