The Beans for Health Alliance

Partnering to promote the health benefits of beans around the world.

Conferences and Events

Bean-Related Nutrition-and-Health Research Conferences

The Beans for Health Alliance (BHA) is uniting bean enthusiasts and supporters of food-based interventions around the world to fund research and to promote the health benefits of beans and other pulses. The BHA is focusing on Latin America and Africa, vast regions whose populations rely on beans for daily nourishment.

Funding studies and then organizing and presenting research findings at professional scientific conferences is one of the keys to spreading the word about the growing body of evidence related to the benefits of consumption of dry beans and other pulses.
