What’s for dinner? Beans, my friend. 🫘
Chief Bean Officer @PaulNewnham took to the TEDx Boston stage to make the case for beans — and why this superstar ingredient can be one of the simplest tools for tackling our global health, climate, and cost-of-living challenges all at ...once.
Beans have a branding problem. We’re here to fix that — together with 140+ partner organisations across 70+ countries, all working to double global pulse consumption by 2028 and drive sustainable food systems transformation.

🍲 🍠 "Food is medicine." After 25 years on biofortification, the case has never been stronger. Just 100g of orange-fleshed sweetpotato can meet a child's daily vitamin A needs. Why it matters more than ever 👉 https://t.co/1GTiMOEhLI

New #SOFI2026 data!
📢645 million people experienced hunger in 2025 i.e. 14 million fewer than in 2024. This is very welcome news, but a very fragile retreat in the numbers.
