The common bean, in all its varieties, as cultivated in Britain and on the continents of Europe and America, is the produce of Vicia Faba.
the horse bean, the mazagan, the tick bean, the winter bean) are cultivated in the field for the sake both of the grain, which is used as food for live-stock, and of the haulm, which serves for either fodder or litter.
Beans are cut when the leaf is fallen and the haulm is almos fl either with the fagging hook or the reaping machine, though the stoutness of the stalks causes a severe strain on the latter implement.

 Ciat in Focus - Beans: The Nearly Perfect Food
Beans are grown from sea level to more than 3,000 meters chiefly by small farmers with average land holdings of less than 1 hectare, without irrigation, and using little or no fertilizers or pesticides.
Beans are the fourth most important source of protein in tropical America and surpass two popular regional root crops—potato and cassava—as a source of calories.
While feeding into the regional networks, bean research at CIAT also draws heavily on partnerships with universities in developing countries (such as the Escuela Agricola Panamericana in Honduras) as well as in industrialized countries (e.g., Cornell University and the Universities of California and Wisconsin in the USA and the University of Ghent in Belgium).

If someone told you that a simple bean grown in Kentucky primarily for animal feed could reduce the risk of heart disease, help prevent cancer, and protect against osteoporosis, you might well be skeptical.
The bean in question is the soybean, and recent news of its powers have now been substantiated by the FDA, which recently approved the claim that soy protein, taken with a low-fat diet, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
That claim is based on work published by James Anderson, a College of Medicine professor and endocrinologist at UK, and other researchers in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1995.
