- In Praise of Seed Morgues. You heard me. Webinar next week: sounds like a doozy.
- Plan of Action on Forgotten Foods. Another webinar next week.
- Walk into the Gateway. The GenRes Gateway, that is, “a crowd-sourced platform to guide you through the landscape of forest, plant and animal genetic resources in Europe.” A third webinar. Looks like I’ll be busy next week.
- Maybe I’ll read about how to evaluate agroecology in the meantime.
- Agroecology is not on FarmGeek, but other interventions are, like GMOs and “genetic diversity” (ie cultivar mixtures) and you can explore how effective they are around the world.
- Speaking of genetic diversity, there’s a lot of it in ICRISAT’s pearl millet fields at the moment, though not in cultivar mixtures. And breeders are having a busy week of it.
