John Young, Terviva's customer success manager, inspects small pongamia trees at its nursery, Thursday, March 21, 2024, in Fort Pierce, Fla. Once the trees are planted, they don't need fertilizer or pesticides. They flourish in drought or rainy conditions. They also don't require teams of workers to pick the beans. A machine simply shakes the tiny beans from the branches when they're ready to harvest. (AP Photo/Marta Lavandier)
