Farmers in East Africa demonstrate the yeild from one year's growth of Canavalia Ensiformis (Jack Bean) which is being used to reduce soil erosion, increase soil mosture retention, and increase nitrogen. These seeds were originally sourced from the ECHO East Africa Seed Bank, and from that sample they are now able to produce enough for their farm and share with their neighbors.
