Wheat boffins are meeting in St Petersburg. CIMMYT is blogging about it. ICARDA is blogging about it. A whole bunch of people are twittering. So there’s no excuse for not knowing what’s going on.

Wheat boffins are meeting in St Petersburg. CIMMYT is blogging about it. ICARDA is blogging about it. A whole bunch of people are twittering. So there’s no excuse for not knowing what’s going on.
This is just a teaser, the start of a long and interesting comment on grasspea from Fernand Lambein, a Belgian scientist.
I respect the authors for trying to put new live into Lathyrus sativus research and for questioning why two generations of efforts did not result in what has been achieved in other crops.
Don’t just take our word for it. Read the whole thing, and be amazed at how useful grasspea can really be.
