Join Us for the Official Launch of the Pulses for Health Alliance/Alianza Leguminosas

Earlier this year USDBC received funding for a new project designed to teach and inform key end-users and stakeholders about the health and nutrition qualities of pulses. The Alianza Leguminosas para La Salud is a Global Broad-Based Initiative (GBI) for all pulses including – dry beans, peas, lentils, and garbanzos, funded by USDA/Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and run out of USDBC Mexico. Over the last months, the groundwork has been established and key partnerships put in place to begin an informational campaign that will teach health professionals, food service, food manufacturers, supply chain professionals among others about the unique health and nutritional properties of pulses, in an effort to increase consumption in Mexico and across Latin America. Please join us for the official launch of the Alianza where we will discuss the kind of information to be disseminated, key participants, and how interested parties can plug in and stay informed. The event takes place online on October 13 at 10 am Central Time. More information about this exciting new program and how to register at: http://www.alianzaleguminosas.org/AlianzaLeguminosas.pdf
