[SINGAPORE] Pulses, or edible plant seeds such as chickpeas and lentils, could be the transformative answer to a global food system that is under severe strain. However, while demand for pulses is rising, the yield has stagnated in key production regions, indicating a “failure of investment and of government policies”, said Anuj Maheshwari, managing director and head of agri-food at Temasek, during a keynote at Pulses 25 in Singapore on Wednesday (May 21). The conference at Fairmont Hotel in Singapore is organised by the Global Pulse Confederation (GPC), a Dubai-based industry body whose membership includes 20 national associations and over 500 private sector members. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/temasek-sees-plant-seeds-game-changer-fixing-broken-global-food-system (ICE SINGAPORE)
