Pulses are essential food crops that contribute to global food security and climate change, as well as to nutritious diets. Pulses also play an important role in soil biodiversity and soil fertility, which is a key factor in ensuring that people have access to a diverse nutritional diet to fight hidden hunger, and are essential for sustainable agriculture. In this review, we discuss importance of pulses and its impact on climate change, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity and their potential applications in the context of addressing malnutrition in India, where a large portion of the population is vegetarians.
