Public opening of The Global Bean Network

On January 27, the public kick-off meeting of The Global Bean Network takes place. Participants will get to know the project’s partners across Europe and beyond. Further the components and events of the project will be introduced – starting with a European legumes manifesto.

Why is the cultivation and consumption of local beans and other legumes so important to mitigate climate change and improve biodiversity in fields and gardens and in our soil?

How do they affect our health and contribute to fair food?

How can we get more beans and legumes in the ground and on our tables?

Frankly, we believe that legumes can change the world!
To find out why and how, please join the great opening. Get to know the initial 40 project partners and experts across Europe and beyond. Over the next two years, they will share their inspiring experience and knowledge about legume cultivation and preparation and together we will create a European and global bean network.

You are invited to join the global bean network! We cannot wait to introduce you to our program: seed-exchange, show gardens, cooking events, monthly lectures and network meetings, a knowledge hub and plenty of information and motivating media.
