Plant geneticists once doubted whether yams could be grown in clay soil like the lower central Chao Phraya basin. By naturally tilling and fertilising the soil, winged bean has delivered massive yields and slashed fertiliser costs. From these high-yield results to FoodInnovate’s organic seed donation in Lat Bua Luang Agricultural Office, we are proving that restoring soil health is the key to a sustainable, low-cost agricultural future.

Decoding the Future of Plant Proteins from Winged Beans: Ep. 5/6 The Nitrogen-Fixing Frontier in High-Integrity dMRV Sandbox
Winged bean is not only a high-protein crop, but also a natural solution for a low-carbon food system. By using its biological ability to "make its own fertiliser," it reduces harmful greenhouse gases and restores soil health. In our 8-hectare sandbox, we demonstrate that this simple plant can provide high-quality data for climate finance.
