In 1998, the Pan Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA) launched the first Bean Atlas. The tool became the comprehensive reference for agricultural research and development across bean value chains on the continent. Many new circumstances required the creation of the Bean Atlas 2.0, including the availability of high-resolution geospatial data for Africa, climate change, new improved bean varieties, PABRA’s bean corridor work, the launch of an 11-country West Africa bean network and an increased focus on the role beans play in nutrition.
