Rediscovering underutilized and forgotten bean species

Led by Amanuel Samuel, this session takes us to Gidole, Ethiopia, where a recent Slow Beans event brought together chefs, bean lovers, health professionals, and young farmers.

The gathering highlighted the richness of underutilized and forgotten bean species still grown in the district, and the potential they hold for nutrition, culture, and resilience.

Don’t miss this inspiring look at how communities are reconnecting with beans that nourish both land and people.
