How sustainable are black beans?
Beans are extremely sustainable! Most crops suck all the nutrients out of the soil as they grow, but beans actually replenish the farmland via nitrogen fixation. Legumes, such as black beans, also require less fertilizer which reduces their carbon footprint. When farmers add beans into their crop rotations, not only do they grow an extra crop that they can profit from, but they also protect their land from soil erosion and the nitrogen that is fixed in the dirt can then be used by other crops! It's a win-win situation-- for the farmer and also for the planet!
