Healthy foods shouldn't be a luxury. We know what drives the price—and we know many of the solutions. So what’s stopping us?

It’s not your imagination. The average cost of a healthy diet has increased 25% since 2021.
👉Around one in three people globally cannot afford good... food, making the cost of nutritious food one of the biggest barriers to ending hunger and malnutrition.
👉Around 70% of the price people pay is added after food leaves the farm, through storage, transport, processing and other parts of the food system.
👉The percentage of people unable to afford a healthy diet is highest in Africa (66.6%) and double that of other regions.

We are entering a crucial period as world leaders gather across global summits. Now is the time to raise our voices together and remind decision-makers that healthy, good foods shouldn't be a luxury.

As world leaders gather at #UNGA in New York, the #BeansIsHow campaign continues to highlight how beans drive progress across multiple Sustainable Development Goals, from #nutrition and #health to gender equality, #climate action, and fair livelihoods.

Join us in celebrating how the humble... bean supports the #SDGs far beyond the plate. While they’re famous for tackling Hunger and Good Health, beans are true multi-taskers for global progress:
🍽️ Zero Hunger & Good Health: Packed with essential nutrients, beans ensure access to safe, nutritious food and play a vital role in ending malnutrition for all.
💼 No Poverty & Decent Work: Boosting bean production creates reliable income streams and resilient livelihoods for smallholder farming communities worldwide.
🚺 Gender Equality: Women make up a large portion of small-scale legume farmers; investing in bean value chains directly empowers women agriculturalists.
🌍 Responsible Consumption & Climate Action: Beans have a low carbon footprint, require minimal water, and naturally fix nitrogen into the soil, enriching the land without heavy synthetic fertilizers.
🌱 Life on Land: Integrating beans into crop rotations improves soil biodiversity and combats land degradation.

Make the shift: eating more beans supports smallholder farmers, cuts emissions, boosts dietary diversity, and helps build resilient, sustainable food systems for all.

Beans are a powerhouse for health, sustainability, and economic growth across Africa! 🫘✨

Dr. Eliud Birachi from the Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance #PABRA shares how innovative, demand-led breeding is transforming African agriculture. By slashing crop development cycles from 10 ...years down to just 3, PABRA is delivering high-yield, biofortified, and fast-cooking bean varieties directly into the hands of local farmers.

These climate-smart varieties cut down on cooking time and energy use, making them a game-changer for home kitchens and large-scale school feeding programs.
