Ontario beans grown for UofG breeding research will help feed the community instead of going to waste. Huge thanks to Dr. Mohsen Yoosefzadeh Najafabadi & the University of Guelph team for turning innovation into impact through donations to @GuelphFoodBank. 👏 Read more: news.uoguelph.ca/2025/10/u-of-g…

Each season we grow 100K dry bean plants, only a few become new cultivars. This year, the rest found new purpose: feeding our community and inspiring art. Every bean tells a story of science, patience & purpose.

Thousands of beans grown for #UofG research will help feed the community through donations to the Guelph Food Bank. The project gives unused beans from breeding trials a new purpose while reducing waste and supporting local food security. Learn more: uoguel.ph/lfg6d
