  3. Which means funding genebanks properly, even on Malta.
  4. And saving what can still be saved. Like fruit trees in the US, yes, why not?
  5. But you have to know what to do with all that stuff in genebanks. Nigeria is showing a way to do that.
  6. One thing you can do is breed beans which take less time to cook. Win-win.
