The Green Revolution

We've been working for a long time using funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to understand that process in legumes. If we can make this work, it could be truly transformative of our food production systems,. driving sustainability in high- income countries and driving equity of global food production - particularly for small holder farmers
