ITHACA, NY Chickpea plants are putting their roots down in Central New York, and successful harvests would pack not only a nutritional, but also an economic punch in the Ithaca area and beyond.  A partnership between Schuyler County, Cornell, Ithaca Hummus, and other groups launched the chickpea-growing initiative last year. Before actually placing chickpeas in the local New York soil, the seeds of the ongoing partnership were planted to help Antithesis Foods — the Ithaca-based maker of Grabanzos — simplify its supply chain and cut costs.   The Schuyler County Partnership for Economic Development organizes and manages the chickpea-growing project for Antithesis Foods. The Partnership is a collaboration between public and private sectors to both spur the growth of and offer continued support to various  “clusters” of businesses across the county.
