As the Executive Vice President of the Global Pulse Confederation (GPC) and Director of Pearl Imperial General Trading LLC, Atheeqe Ansari had the opportunity to share his views at COP28 UAE on the 'Supply vs Demand' debate on global pulse consumption. In the panel discussion, at the Global Pulse Confederation (GPC), he highlighted how the production, supply and consumption of pulses will play a key role in a sustainable future.
He emphasized his discussion on pulses, a superfood, that is not just good for our health but also the planet. Being a water-efficient crop, they are easy to grow and are packed with nutrients. Their cultivation reduces environmental impact and improves soil fertility to grow other crops through nitrogen fixation.
Awareness about the benefits of pulses consumption and a steady supply are needed to raise the consumption of pulses worldwide. He urged everyone to incorporate a pulse-rich diet at the table and harness the benefits this wonder food has to offer.
