In case you missed it: from climate conferences and trade developments to nutrition advocacy and industry innovation, here’s a roundup of the major developments shaping the pulse sector last month.
From field to forum: pulses rise as key allies in climate adaptation and sustainable food systems.
London Climate Action Week 2025 brought together leaders and innovators to focus on regenerative agriculture, resilient supply chains, and the transition to low-carbon food systems. Sessions provided practical support for farmers adopting sustainable practices, including crop diversification with pulses. Panels on alternative proteins highlighted the growing investment and innovation needed to reduce emissions from traditional animal agriculture. Forums emphasized the importance of shortening supply chains, improving soil health, and supporting local production.
At the 2025 Bonn Climate Conference, agriculture and food systems took center stage in climate negotiations. Delegates advanced measurable adaptation indicators and reinforced the need for robust climate finance, targeting $300 billion annually by 2035 to support sustainable practices. The conference spotlighted the critical role of innovation in farming—such as climate-smart technologies and holistic, system-wide approaches that connect food security, sustainability, and economic empowerment. For pulses, this is highly relevant: as climate-resilient, low-carbon crops, they are increasingly recognized as essential to both adaptation and mitigation strategies in global climate policy.
