The #BeansOnTheMenu takeover continues in London.
Loved seeing Bold Bean Co’s Beanery, where their mission is simple: make the world obsessed with beans. Had very good pesto butter beans, my taste buds can confirm.
@BeansisHow wants to double global bean consumption by 2028.

Developing a new dry bean variety can take more than a decade of breeding, testing & selection.
Sustained investment in public plant breeding is an investment in Ontario’s farmers, food security & future.
A great video from @AgInnovationON & @Farmtario feat UofG’s Dr. Mohsen YN.
Food security is often talked about at the level of grocery shelves and supply chains but it begins much earlier by developing crop varieties suited to #Ontario’s conditions. It’s how we’re securing Ontario’s food future. bit.ly/4A2mMN3 @AgricultureON
Canada’s food system is bigger than what’s on our plate.
From farmers & researchers to processors, truck drivers & retailers, it takes all of us to keep food on tables.
We’re proud to support the Canada’s Food System pledge.
