Oh my. They’re not far off raising the required cash, apparently. Fingers crossed.
Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog
Agrobiodiversity is crops, livestock, foodways, microbes, pollinators, wild relatives …
Oh my. They’re not far off raising the required cash, apparently. Fingers crossed.
I thought this last part was very interesting:
“Impacto del uso de la agrobiodiversidad conservada en el CIAT
– Crecimiento del sector ganadero en Brasil a nivel nacional e internacional gracias a la generación de una nueva variedad de pasto forrajero que contribuyó a reducir el tiempo de crecimiento del ganado de 4 años a 20 meses aproximadamente”
Free translation:
“Impact of the use of the biodiversity housed in CIAT
– Growth of cattle production in Brazil, nationally and internationally, thanks to the development of a variety of fodder grass, that contributed to the reduction of the time required for cattle to mature, from approx. 4 years to 20 months”
I wonder what they are talking about, do you know?
Cheers
Brachiaria maybe?
Is that the African Brachiaria, perhaps?
Thank you both, I’ll follow up on that :)
