ALSIA is an instrumental body of the Basilicata Region for the research and transfer of innovations in agriculture and agri-food. ALSIA participates in projects of community regional, and national interest in agricultural biodiversity, multifunctionality, training, and enhancement of agricultural production. Is currently involved in participatory and evolutionary breeding programs on local beans and their mixtures as well as in bread and durum wheat local varieties and their mixtures. Bean mixtures have already been successfully commercialized.
It is the most important regional center for biodiversity characterization and conservation.
Global Bean projects we are involved in:
Participatory and Evolutionary plant breeding using a wide farmers’ network, a functional gene bank and expertise in experimental designs and statistical analysis for adaptation to organic conditions.
To extend the use of bean and cereal mixtures in contrasting microenvironments of the regions to enhance the cultivated agrobiodiversity of the region and to benefit consumers.
The wild parents of the common bean (P. vulgaris) grow in an area that stretches from northern Mexico to Argentina, in two broad regions: Mesoamerica in the north and the Andes in the south. Wild beans in the two regions are genetically distinct.

Summary: The event took place on the 16th of March 2023, from 17:00 to 18:30 CET: The Fabaceae family is immense. Beans have been one of the most widely used crops for millennia, but not only the common bean but also the well-known lentils, peas chickpeas and faba beans have been used in the human
During its two fruitful first years, The Global Bean Project has been funded by the German environment ministry (BMUV) and we were able to carry out a variety of activities with a central coordination amongst a growing global network of experts and enthusiasts. The network now counts above 100 partners from 37 countries. From now
