After over a decade of research, Prof Eric Holub has developed three new bean varieties for the UK: Olivia, Godiva, and Capulet. These beans are designed to germinate quickly in cold soils with strong roots, allowing for May planting and September harvesting. This project uses conventional breeding methods, reinforcing the idea that the genetic alterations are not alarming. Nurtural Food, a Warwickshire initiative, aims to connect farmers with local markets to promote these beans, emphasizing sustainability in farming practices.
The UK Registered Beans, or URBeans, named Olivia, Godiva and Capulet, are engineered to thrive in cooler climates, with strong roots for efficient harvesting.
The beans were created using conventional breeding techniques, assuring consumers that thereâs nothing alarming about the genetic modifications involved.
Prof Eric Holub dedicated over a decade to developing varieties of beans that can adapt to the UKâs growing conditions, aiming for a superior bean.
The initiative Nurtural Food collaborated with local farmers and retailers to introduce these new bean varieties, emphasizing sustainability and minimizing waste.
