An analysis of observed and predicted extreme heat and precipitation trends across four pulse producing regions in North America: North Dakota, Montana, Saskatchewan, and Northeast... by Sophia Weiss, Erin Coughlan de Perez

“…The consumption of plant-based proteins in lieu of animal proteins is the most important dietary shift that would be needed to keep the world under 2 °C of warming, and this shift would require a dramatic increase in the percentage of cropland devoted to nuts and pulses (Peters et al 2016 Elementa 4 000116). As the demand for plant-based proteins, like pulse crops, continues to grow, it is critical to understand the impact of climate change on crop production. …”
