Nibbles: Sorghum, Microbes, Seeds, Biofortification, Spent grain, Fermentation, Fisheries, Millennium Villages, Cooking fish

All the cool crops are doing it. Sorghum has a Facebook page. Any others?
Soil microbes showing “increasing antibiotic resistance“.
Big, expensive, new Seed Tech Institute for East Africa. I’m suspending judgement. h/t CAS-IP
New Agriculturalist does the AgroSalud thing: biofortified staples.

More fermentation goodness.
Cobia is the new cod.
Nutrition in the Millennium Villages.
NW USA seafood recipes have moved up the foodchain in last 100 years, because rarer and more expensive.

Menawhile, there’s only one reference to dietary diversity in the World Bank’s investment framework for nutrition.

Meanwhile, Europe reports on biodiversity-friendly farming practices. Does that include the biodiversity of the actual crops? Perhaps surprisingly, yes!
You want biodiversity-friendly farming practices? Talk to Indigenous people. The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) has launched an e-consultation on “Preserving, strengthening and promoting Indigenous Peoples’ food and knowledge systems and traditional practices for sustainable food systems.”
There’s diversity in asparagus too.
Genebanks can help with those biodiversity-friendly practices, diverse diets and rops and Indigenous practices.
Even big international genebanks.
Even the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
But some are in trouble.
Though others are coming back.
