Join us to double global bean consumption by 2028 and put #beansonthemenu!
Targeting restaurants, caterers, cafés, schools, and other food providers, this initiative aims to get more bean dishes on menus globally, making beans a desirable food choice.
It highlights the unique role chefs can play in showcasing the versatility and tastiness of beans while influencing dietary trends and behaviours towards affordable, healthy, plant-forward diets.
The Beans is How #Beansonthemenu Challenge launched in New York City on September 18, 2023, during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) – where for the first time food was on the U.N.’s official climate change agenda.
