Terra Madre is Slow Food’s International Event, that has gone Virtual this Year!

Slow Beans, a network of communities founded to celebrate and promote pulses, invites you to join this free webinar, “Let It Bean”

Beans are a simple food, with great beneficial properties. “Pulse” refers only to the dry edible seed within the pod, which contains high levels of proteins and other essential nutrients. Pulses also help keep the soil fertile by fixing nitrogen.

On World Pulses Day, the Slow Bean network tells us about its origins and how today it has come to promote the Let It Bean initiative with various Italian municipalities. Other bean producers from the international Slow Food network will be present, along with writers, scientists and representatives of international organizations engaged in safeguarding and promoting these beacons of sustainability.

Speakers:

• Laura Solinas (Italy), member of the Slow Beans network and Belluna Valley Gialèt Bean Presidium
• Becky Ramsing (USA), senior programme officer at John’s Hopkins University Centre for livable futures
• Javier David Angel Matiz (Colombia), professor of agricolture at UNISALLE in Bogotà, spokenperson for the Guajira Bean Presidium
• Camillo Romero Mera (Colombia/Germany), UN-Habitat Urban-Rural Linkages programme
