- Seeds scoped in the Pacific. I doubt the region will feature much in the Access to Seeds Index. Not unless it features community seed production groups like Atauro in East Timor.
- Wanna reform the food system? Here’s the theory.
- And here’s the practice, at least for wheat (and bread). Though some would probably beg to differ.
- Blowing up African retail, one banana at the time.
- Biological control of coca. What could possibly go wrong.
- The reason for the holes in swiss cheese? We finally have the data.
- But personally I prefer halloumi.
- There are patents. There is PVP. And there are trademarks. A podcast on apple breeding, if you can believe it.
- A whole bunch of heirloom roses all in one place.
- Museum boffins find stale tea, Brits go ape.
- Go on, have an insect.

Reform the food system: Theory indeed: “…. (IAASTD), completed in 2008, allowed the parameters of discussion and the proposed
methodologies to be open to contestation, placing a wide range of stakeholders on equal footing in this deliberation.” The IAASTD was a disaster that should have been buried. It massively over-promoted agroecology for Latin America and the Caribbean and ignored it for four other major regions for no technical, social, or ecological reason. Some of the panel do not want developing countries exporting crops: a sad bunch and yet another `foundation’ selling snake oil.
