豆類是全能食材，含高蛋白質，不僅能為人類及動物提供食物，還能改善土壤、有助應對氣候變化，更有機會成為人類未來的最佳食物。科學家邀請了來自27個歐洲國家的市民，協助種植超過1,000種食用豆，研究豆類的多樣性；並研究豆與粟米的協同效應，提升生產率；同時嘗試令豆類更易消化，適合人類食用。從小學生到豆類愛好者，歐洲正努力保存及推廣這種傳統農作物，拯救瀕危豆類。

Beans, a high-protein superfood, benefit humans, animals, and soil while aiding climate change mitigation, positioning them as a future staple. In the INCREASE project, scientists collaborate with citizens from 27 European countries to cultivate over 1,000 bean varieties, studying their diversity and climate adaptability.

Research explores bean-maize synergies to boost yields and enhances digestibility for human consumption. From schoolchildren rediscovering beans in gardens to enthusiasts preserving rare varieties, Europe is dedicated to promoting and safeguarding this traditional crop, ensuring its sustainability and preventing the extinction of endangered bean types.
