Zenón Maquera compared the production of 7 varieties of beans in the community of Coroico Viejo, across the valley where the university has an experiment station. Beans can have a great impact on the poor nutrition in the region where protein and iron deficiencies are major reasons for poor development and illness in children.
Zenón went beyond the scope of his project, meeting with farmers and helping them plant the best varieties and even teaching the families to cook them. Thank you, Zenón -- you will go far.
