X's Project Mineral has been working with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT to better understand and uncover hidden crop traits within the world’s largest bean collection. The Alliance’s team has been using Mineral’s technologies at their newly opened Future Seeds genebank in Colombia, which contains over 36,000 varieties of beans. Mineral hopes to provide the Alliance's researchers with tools that can help them discover and ultimately grow better beans for the world, faster.
