| 释义 |
2016 was declared as the International Year of Pulses by the sixty eighth session of the United Nations General Assembly on December 20, 2013.[1] The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has been nominated to declare a year for pulses. {{quote|An International Year designation provides an unprecedented opportunity to raise awareness and to celebrate the role of beans, chickpeas, lentils and other pulses in feeding the world. Even more importantly, it will be a galvanizing moment to draw together key actors to further the contributions pulses make to health, nutrition, and sustainability.[2][3]}}PurposeThe FAO intends to make people more aware of the nutritional value of pulses, of their contribution to sustainability, and more reliable food. The year should facilitate cooperation within food production systems to use protein in pulses better. Also the year should promote production of pulses worldwide, improve crop rotation and improve trade in pulses.[4] The IYP 2016 aims to heighten public awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production aimed towards food security and nutrition. The Year will create a unique opportunity to encourage connections throughout the food chain that would better utilize pulse-based proteins, further global production of pulses, better utilize crop rotations and address the challenges in the trade of pulses.[5][6] Diet is an important contributor to health, and to disease. Most countries face nutritional problems, from undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies to obesity and diet-related diseases (such as type II diabetes and certain types of cancer), or a mix of these. Pulses are a nutrient-rich food that as part of a healthy diet can help fight malnutrition in both developed and developing countries. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has stated that the International Pulses Year has helped raise awareness globally of the many benefits of pulses, such as beans, lentils and chickpeas, gains must be further strengthened to achieve the international community’s new development goals.[7] Importance of PulsesPulses are beans and peas that are harvested dry. Examples are lentils, chickpeas, pinto beans, kidney beans, and more.
