Meaty presentation on how biodiversity in the food system delivers a diverse diet. Could hardly fail to, really, could it.
What’s a diverse diet ever done for me, asks ancient farmer.
Vegetables an important part of diverse diets, of course. Especially in urban areas.
Interesting EU project on the phylogenetics of medicinal plants. Any vegetables in there?
Improved cowpeas only improved when farmers know they are improved. Wow.
Some glimmers of hope on adaptation? Maybe.
Not all livestock bad for climate change. And room for improvement on those that are.
Yeah, but who cares, global warming is just a giant natural fluctuation, no? No.
Legalize it, already! Poppy cultivation as a climate change adaptation measure?
Australian agriculture unprepared for climate change? With all these fancy breeders and access to the world’s genebanks?
Meanwhile, in China, the focus is on food sovereignty.
And in Japan on its spaced out cherry tree.
