It’s #NationalBeanDay! Through scientific studies, #landgrantuniversities have shown the many health benefits of beans. For example, @UNL_CASNR showed that pinto beans can help lower cholesterol and @CSUAgSci found that beans can reduce visceral fat.

The #drought in the greater Horn of Africa is getting worse. We have allocated $107 million to fight #hunger over the next 2 years to prevent a devastating famine — as well as over $11M to the WFP to help provide 32,000 schoolchildren with meals.
