Ancient Bean Crop Recovered in Spain

Researchers, farmers, and restorers have successfully revived cultivation of the ‘fesol de Beseit’ bean, a historic crop of the Matarraña region in Spain. This recovery is linked to unusually heavy winter rainfall and the revitalization of traditional secano agriculture, a farming method focused on drought-resistant crops. The bean’s return is significant for the region’s economy and food security, representing a reconnection with the area’s agricultural heritage.
