CGIAR bean breeders have announced the development of 30 new types of “heat-beater” beans. Many of the new heat-tolerant beans are crosses between the “common bean”—which includes pinto, white, black, and kidney beans—and the tepary bean. The new beans are a landmark result of urgent efforts by CGIAR to develop new crop varieties that can thrive in drastic weather extremes.
