  • Sometimes all it takes is a goat.
  • Or a camel.
  • I wonder how either would figure into a metric for a sustainable diet. Wonder if these people will be interested in those metrics.
  • Cassava figures in lots of different ways.
  • No word on whether carbon dioxide will affect its nutrient content the way it does with other crops.
  • Who cares, it’s yield we’re after. Well, that’s in trouble too in some parts of Africa.
  • That’s the only way those African seed start-ups are going to survive.
  • Yeah, but disease resistance is important, Shirley. PlantVillage gets a blog.
  • And weeds? Don’t forget the weeds. Although of course some of them you can eat. Put that in your metrics.
  • Meanwhile, France starts to re-wild. Would love to see some wild relatives in the Bois du Boulogne. Livestock wild relatives, not your crazy cousin on his gap year.
  • And now we can figure out what climate change might do to them. I guess this thing might work for European animals. Says here it works for Australian trees.
  • Speaking of France, garlic is quintessentially French, isn’t it? Well, maybe, but it’s also very Korean, in its black, cured form.
