Nibbles: Bahamian pigs, Llamas far from home, Ugandan aquaponics, Better broccoli, African atlas, Chinese sesame imports, Root & tuber maps, NZ genebank access

  • The next big livestock thing is swimming pigs.
  • Or maybe llamas. Not swimming ones, mind, settle down.
  • Nope, it’s farmed fish. Which do swim, though not very far.
  • Meanwhile, Cornell re-engineers broccoli.
  • And HarvestChoice puts out an African atlas. Online resources coming in due course.
  • Which does not show you sesame cultivation in Ethiopia, alas, at least not yet, let’s wait for the online version.
  • Speaking of atlases, RTBMaps is in Beta. I’ll have to play with it and get back to you.
  • New Zealand changes genebank rules to speed up forage breeding. To do with quarantine rather than ABS, though.
