A large area of land where bean plants are grown as a crop.
Compound of 'bean' (from Old English 'bean', meaning the legume) and 'field' (from Old English 'feld', meaning an open area of land). The combination emerged in agricultural English to describe specific cultivated areas.
Beanfields have been central to human agriculture for over 7,000 years—beans were independently domesticated in Mesoamerica, the Andes, China, and Africa, making them one of the most universally important crops in human history.
