Nibbles: Genebanks in the US, CIAT, Egypt, Cambridge Botanic Garden, Chilean wild tomato, Kenyan veggies, PNG diet, PGRFA course

  1. The USDA genebank is in the news. But will that save it?
  2. The CIAT genebank in on a podcast. Can’t hurt, I guess.
  3. The Egyptian genebank is in the news. And on a new website, apparently.
  4. Good to see botanic gardens in the news too.
  5. I wonder which genebank or botanic gardens this apparently re-discovered endemic Chilean wild tomato will end up in. If any.
  6. But genebanks are not enough. You need vegetable fairs too.
  7. Because vegetables are good for you. And not just in Kenya, also in Papua New Guinea.
