Abstract: It reviews the role of convergent innovation for the development of the pulses sector and discusses an evolving framework focused on the significant health and environmental benefits that could accrue from pulses. Case studies of convergent innovation have shown improved outcomes that this approach can make possible, and it seems that the use of this approach to study the prospects of India’s pulses sector could be useful.
