Some crops extract nitrogen from the soil. Winged beans give back to the soil, to the systems, to life. Winged beans have exceptional nitrogen-fixing capacity, outperforming most tropical legumes. They excel as green manure, cover crops, and intercrops within banana, sugarcane, and maize systems. Their role in enhancing soil fertility and increasing organic matter makes them ideal allies in regenerative farming.
Decoding the Future of Plant Proteins from Winged Beans: Ep. 2/6 Winged Beans—Nature’s One-Stop Supermarket
"One vine. Many nutrients. And endless possibilities.” Protein-rich seeds, tubers, and an amino acid profile that rivals soybeans. The winged bean is a ‘vertical food system’ on a single vine. Could this local crop redefine nutrition strategies for food-insecure regions?
Decoding the Future of Plant Proteins from Winged Beans: Ep. 1/6 Rediscovering Forgotten Crops in a Fragile Food System
In a world facing climate volatility and overreliance on commodity crops, what if our most powerful tools for food system resilience have been quietly growing in backyard gardens all along? The winged bean—an underutilised crop with powerful nutritional and agroecological traits—may be more than a relic of tradition. It might just be a blueprint for the future.
5 ความจริงที่ค่าดัชนีน้ำตาลหรือ Glycemic Index (GI) ไม่ได้บอกคุณ – สุขภาพไม่ได้วัดแค่ระดับน้ำตาลในเลือดหลังอาหาร
Think low-GI means safe? Think again. Glycemic Index doesn’t reveal the impact of fructose – in sucrose molecule known as table sugar, on your liver, insulin overload from sugary drinks, or long-term risks like fatty liver and uric acid. Glycemic Index (GI) alone doesn’t reflect true health risks. Low-GI foods can still burden the liver, insulin, and metabolism—especially with excess fructose or refined carbs. Liquid sugars in sweet drinks absorb faster. Choose whole foods, not just low-GI numbers. Health is systemic—don’t let just GI number mislead your choices.
Floodplains Should Not Be Invisible Assets: Policy Recommendations for Equitable Climate Resilience in the Lower Chao Phraya River Basin
Floodplains in Thailand’s Lower Chao Phraya River Basin play a vital role in urban flood protection, yet smallholder farmers bear the hidden costs.
