The new initiative “Beans is How” that launched earlier this year is looking to double global dry bean consumption by 2028. The United State Dry Bean Council joined as a coalition partner with other industry stakeholders. “Beans is How” announced their newly appointed Board of Directors, which includes Chef Andrew Zimmern, Andy Jarvis of the Bezos Earth Fund, among others.
Founded in 1976, Northarvest Bean Growers Association (NBGA) represents the largest group of dry bean farmers in America, working together to fund research, promote, and produce the finest beans in the world.
NBGA works to better the dry bean industry through promotion, field & nutrition research, market development, monitoring governmental policy, advocating for greater consumer choices, and focusing on the needs of our producers.
NBGA advocates for its 2,400+ farm families across MN & ND that grow dry beans and is committed to strengthening the relationship between growers, industry partners, and consumers across the world.
