Summary
There is a revolution in farming in Latin America. Forget GM crops, the mucuna bean provides a real alternative for feeding the world's population. Julian Pettifer travels through Guatemala, Honduras and Brazil revealing the powerful properties of the little bean which protects against soil erosion and allows farmers to triple their yield without recourse to fertiliser or pesticides. The results have already been amazing - the halting of slash and burn policies, reverse migration from city to country, and the retention of carbon in the soil acting as a cushion against global warming. The mucuna is a truly magic bean
