Scientists have now developed new bean varieties which are drought, pest, and disease resistant and fortified with zinc and iron. According to the lead scientist in the project Dr. Beatrice Kiage, the new beans are also early maturing making them advantageous in the wake of climate change. In addition, the beans take significantly less time to cook compared to the conventional bean varieties thus saving on fuel.
