Lablab purpureus, also known by various names such as bonavista bean, Indian bean, dolichos bean, Egyptian kidney bean, field bean, hyacinth bean, lablab bean, pendal bean, pole bean, poor man's bean, waby bean, and sheem, is a species of bean native to sub-Saharan Africa and India. This warm-season annual or short-lived perennial plant has a thick stem that can grow up to 3 feet, with climbing vines that can reach up to 25 feet long. It features long-stemmed, trifoliate leaves. To grow lablab, it is suggested to erect a bower with bamboo poles over an area of 4.0 x 4.0 meters, keeping the pit at the center. This allows the plants to climb the bower by erecting one or two long twigs in the pits. Lablab is an edible plant, and its immature seeds and pods, as well as young leaves, can be cooked as vegetables. The mature dry beans are also edible but require prolonged cooking with several changes of water to become palatable. When cooked, the dried beans have a mild, nutty, smoky flavor with a fine creamy texture. The young pods can also be cooked and eaten as a fresh vegetable. The white flowers of lablab beans have a fragrant smell. Lablab beans were cultivated in the field at Kaliganj, West Bengal, India, on January 8, 2024.

Environmental Researchers Have Long Blamed India's Water Scarcity On The Country's Flawed Agricultural Policies. ''Water Productivity Of Crop'' Is A New Measure That Calculates How Much Water (evapotranspiration) Is Irrigated Per Crop And How Much Is Produced. In Many Districts Of Water-rich Gangetic West Bengal And Assam, The Groundwater Table Has Started To Drop Below 100 Feet On Dry Days (500 Feet Below In Punjab). According To A Report Of The World Bank ''Water Is A Critical Input For Agricultural Production And Plays An Important Role In Food Security. Irrigated Agriculture Represents 20 Percent Of The Total Cultivated Land And Contributes 40 Percent Of The Total Food Produced Worldwide. Due To Population Growth, Urbanization, And Climate Change, Competition For Water Resources Is Expected To Increase, With A Particular Impact On Agriculture. Population Is Expected To Increase To Over 10 Billion By 2050, And Whether Urban Or Rural, This Population Will Need Food And Fiber To Meet Its Basic Needs. Inter-sectoral Water Re-allocations And Significant Shifts Of Water Away From Agriculture Will Also Need To Be Accompanied By Improvements In Water Use Efficiency And Improvements In Water Delivery Systems.'' Water Is Being Supplied To Various Cultivated Lands Through Pipes By Lifting Underground Water Through Palm Sets At Nabin Nagar, West Bengal, India On 30/11/2023.
