Establishes a temporary Multisectoral Working Group tasked with formulating proposed actions to articulate the production, marketing and domestic consumption of legumes in Peru, in response to declining consumption of pulses ("menestras") and its impact on food security and the income of farming households. Chaired by the Ministerial Office of Agrarian Development and Irrigation, the group brings together representatives from MIDAGRI itself (the General Directorate of Agricultural Development and Agroecology and AGROIDEAS), the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion, and the Ministry of Health, with a twelve-month renewable term. Its functions include conducting a situational diagnosis, identifying gaps and stakeholders, and drafting a proposal for intersectoral articulation actions.
