What are you talking about exactly? What do you mean by re-diversifying and giving farmers access to a greater range of diversity - without involving breeding? I guess you don't mean deploying a bunch of abandoned landraces and wild relatives, but rather talk about participatory breeding programmes (or as some NGO's like to say: "farmer-led breeding programmes")? Anyway, I agree that adapting is the new fight! Hi Guys! What are you talking about exactly?

Thanks Jeremy. I couldn't agree with you more - the solution is probably already out there. It's just a question of re-diversifying the hard hit areas with existing genetic resources, and the challenge lies in targeting the right genetic resources to the right site, and managing change over a long time period. Adaptation is needed over the next 50 years, but precisely when should that adaptation occur? Brilliant article (and not just because you cite some of my work!). Thanks Jeremy.
