This activation has been made possible through a contribution from AGRA. It also supports their program: “Advancing Availability of Biofortified Foods for Institutional Markets” program, which targets the delivery of iron-rich beans and Vitamin A maize to school feeding programs in Kenya, Malawi, and Tanzania, benefiting approximately 1.2 million school children from 2022-2025.

 

 

#BeansOnTheMenu is led by the Beans is How Coalition, an effort by over 100 organisations to double the global consumption of beans and other pulses by 2028. In addition to being delicious and affordable, beans also help improve nutrition and regenerate soil, reducing the impact of climate change. Tiny but mighty, beans are a solution for improving the health of our population and our planet.
