About Us

We are inviting schools across the UK to take part in an exciting experiment! Our goal is to find out which beans grow best, from familiar varieties to more unusual ones. This site has all the information you need to join in and be part of the discovery.

Prof. Mark Chapman

I study plants and their DNA. My lab tries to understand what people in the UK will eat in the future and how this can help combat climate change.

Anastasia

I am a PhD student in the Chapman lab, interested in how plants change over time and how computers can help us figure that out. I take interest in what we used to eat thousands of years ago and how climate change may affect what we eat in the future.
