Autumnal Berry go Round

- Nice piece from NPR on the coffee genebank in Costa Rica and the importance of breeding for resistance to coffee rust. Where’s the diversity for that going to come from, you ask?
- Weird piece from NPR on why humans took up farming. Hard to swallow.
- At least in India and Uganda, men and women use trees differently, and have different access. Good to know.
- “David Byrne receives national 2013 Carroll R. Miller Award for peach research.” Settle down! Not that David Byrne.
Nibbles Archive: All that condensed goodness.

And easy access to the Brainfood Archive.

Some very good news from Mohamed Amar, head of the Egyptian Deserts Gene Bank:

I can confirm that we have been rebuilding the Egyptian deserts gene bank in new form during the year and a half.

Here’s hoping we get more information soon.
