| | Alberta has potential to increase pulse crop (field peas, chick peas, lentils, fababeans, dry beans) acreage and production to satisfy a growing demand from world markets.

Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development commissioned Blacksheep Strategy Ltd to do a survey of Western Canadian farmers to determine why they did or didn’t include pulse crops in their crop rotations and if they do grow these crops, what limits them from increasing this acreage.
