Nibbles: Foley Heinz award, C4 rice history, Fish feeding Africa, Sustainable harvesting, Sorghum death, Carver, Improving crops, Commodity production

Jonathan Foley, @GlobalEcoGuy, lands well deserved award for his straight-talking on food issues.
I wonder what he’d say about C4 rice.
Not sure he’s ever written about fish, but he probably will.
Sustainable harvesting of Prunus africana maybe not so sustainable after all. Well, I guess that’s science.
Encomium to the recently-deceased “Father of Sorghum.”
Shame he missed the round-up on improving abiotic stress tolerance in crops, linked to by AoB Blog.
Wouldn’t it have been cool if the Father of Sorghum had met the Peanut Man?
