Nibbles: Food photos, Phenology, Breadfruit, Medicinal plant gardens, Animal quiz, Soil agrobiodiversity, Cloning

World Bank food snaps.
Looks like there is phenotypic selection on flowering time.
Workshop on revitalizing breadfruit in Hawaii. If you go, let us know.
Sacred Seeds gardens around the world.
How much do you know about animal production and health? FAO wants to know.
CIAT now looking at soil biodiversity.
Boffins can now clone plants as seeds. Clever, but is it good?

1. Big IUCN report says that biodiversity and agriculture are in conflict, they don’t really need to be, but it’s really complicated for them not to be. So that’s us all told.
2. If only annual crops were perennial, for example, eh?
3. If only we incorporated more sustainable agriculture in education, for example, eh? Apart from anything else we could still have beer. No word on the role of perennial barley though.
4. If only improved seeds were open source, for example, eh?
5. If only we could cryopreserve coral, for example, eh? Wait, what?
