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?
