Triple challenge on the global food supply
1. Ensuring enough food
2. Producing food within a changing environment
3. Producing healthy food to mitigate the chronic
disease burden whilst still addressing malnutrition
Global Mega Trends
Pulses can help address the triple challenge

Longevity Strongest dietary predictor of longevity
7-8% reduction in risk of death for every 20g increase in daily pulse intake

Combatting Chronic Disease
Obesity
People who eat pulses are more likely to be a healthy weight and have smaller waist circumference
1-2 serves of ½ cup pulses per day may help weight loss
Pulses Address the Challenges
Heart Disease
100-200g of pulses per day reduces the risk of heart disease risk factors
• Lowers blood pressure
• Reduces total cholesterol
• Reduces LDL cholesterol
½ cup pulses 4 x per week reduces the risk of heart disease

Cancer
4 servings of pulses per week decreases the risk of colorectal cancer
Combatting Chronic Disease
Pulses Address the Challenges
Reduce Diabetes Risk
Eating pulses lowers blood glucose levels after a meal
Assist with Diabetes Management
½ cup of pulses per day for at least 4 weeks reduces fasting blood glucose and insulin levels
Substitution of red meat with legumes three days per week decreases blood glucose, insulin, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol

Trends Driving Product Development
Pulses meet many of the top trends
• Flexitarian eating – the rise of the vegan
• Plant protein alternative to soy
• Locally grown
• Sustainability
• Clean label, natural and simple
Trends Driving Product Development

• Lack of knowledge on how to prepare them
• Poor understanding of health benefits
Why aren’t Australians consuming pulses?
2 out of 3 Australians don’t think to include pulses in their diets

The Pulse Gap
The Pulse Gap
Asian Food Consumption Trends
Development of value-added products with pulses is on the rise
Familiar Foods with Benefits
Building Greater Demand
Addition of pulse fours to cereal-based foods:
• Increases fibre and protein
• Reduces rapidly digested carbohydrate
• May help:
• Control appetite
• Reduce blood pressure,
• Improve glycemic control
Studies are underway to determine effects of pulse flours and best milling methods

Pulses are on Trend in Food Industry
Title page
Food Industry Picking up Pulses
Building Greater Demand
Industry: Be ambassadors of pulses as food Research: extending research into health benefits to allow claims Government: greater emphasis on pulses, including quantified recommendations Food Manufacturers: increased product innovation to incorporate pulse ingredients Public health bodies: communicate the nutrition and health benefits of the regular pulse consumption
Comprehensive Approach
Beyond 2016
Excellent opportunities exist for these Australian crops
to be positioned as superior quality human foods for
both domestic use and for export.
Supporting demand growth requires:
• Consumer communication
• Research collaborations on value-added products
• Assurance for manufacturers of a safe, consistent
supply of raw product to promote investment in new
food technologies
The Future is Bright
Adults 100g per day
Children 75g per day
Higher intake of fibre, protein, iron, magnesium,
zinc and folate
Less likely to be overweight or obese
Smaller waist circumference

The Pulse Gap
Global Consumption Trends • Global pulse consumption is estimated to rise 23% from 2009 to 2030 (24% in Asia)
• There is a shift in consumption to value-added products

Compared to cereals
• Higher in protein • Higher in fibre • Higher in folate, iron, potassium, • Lower in carbohydrate Compared to animal protein • Lower in saturated fat • Contain fibre
Trends changing food consumption 1. More Food from Less Resources
Our global population is expanding: 7.3 billion
today to an 9 billion in 2050
2. Planetary Pushback
Many of the world's natural habitats, plant species
and animal species are in decline or at risk of
extinction.

Global Mega Trends
Undernutrition and Overnutrition
• 800 million people chronically undernourished
• UN Decade of Action on Nutrition from 2016 to 2025
But…
• 1.9 billion people overweight or obese
• Lifestyle-related diseases responsible for more than 70% of all deaths
• 80% of these deaths could be delayed with improved lifestyle
