  • It’s so exciting: Rio+20 is almost upon us. Here’s the CGIAR’s Call to Action. Maybe they could fix the splits too?
  • CIAT hopes to have some useful answers on food security and ecosystem services, in four years.
  • At Chelsea, maybe the sun will shine on seedsmen of old?
  • How they make flour from diverse agricultural products in Ethiopia video.
  • They’re commercializing camels there too.
  • Obituaries for bioinformatics tools. Stop sniggering in the back.
  • Third annual Malthus lecture starts in just a few hours. In Washington DC.

Tim Robinson updates us on livestock data at FAO:

…We had, of course, been working on the collection of the underlying livestock statistics, and the spatial modelling to produce the maps, for many years prior to them being published on the FAO website … but that is all quickly forgotten when they are re-distributed by a third party.

For your information, we have been beavering away since then, collecting more recent and detailed sub-national livestock statistics and disaggregating these using a slightly modified modelling approach, and 1 km multi-temporal, Fourier-processed MODIS imagery from the University of Oxford…

Global datasets coming soon, apparently. We’ll keep you posted.
