I really hate to be a cynical old sourpuss, ((No you don’t. Ed.)) but I suspect the most interesting thing about today’s High Level Round Table on the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture at FAO ((Which, incidentally, is on at the same time as the International Symposium on “Food and nutrition security: food-based approaches for improving diets and raising levels of nutrition.” Well, maybe it’s deliberate.)) may well be the display of Italian fruit diversity put on by the Centro di Ricerca per la Frutticoltura.
