This diverse group of staple foods has been cultivated by civilizations across the globe for over 10,000 years. Worldwide activities throughout 2016 will explore the integral role these nutrient-dense foods can play in small-holder sustainable cropping systems and meeting the global nutrition and agricultural challenges of our time. This inaugural conference will look at the contribution of pulses in healthy and sustainable diets, examine how pulses can make significant impacts on public health, and explore opportunities for enhancing these benefits broadly through food system innovations.

A reduction in lean body mass and strength increases mortality and affects quality of life, and can also increase recovery times and length of hospital stays. Recovering lean body mass which has been lost is difficult; however, comprehensive healthcare that emphasizes early diagnosis and treatments for lean body mass loss may help mitigate the problem. Clinicians have an opportunity to be agents of change by taking research to practice to treat age- and disease-related loss of lean body mass through innovative clinical and nutrition interventions.
