Special Issue “Role of Plant Tissue Culture in Agricultural Research and Production.” Deadline: 15 September. This year, I imagine.
Kenya decolonizing it’s pulse sector.
And it may be visible from space.
Somebody mention space? Microsoft is way ahead of you.
CIAT’s genebank working through lockdown, denies Phaseolus is colonial.
How about soya then? That’s pretty colonial, surely? Ah, but faba is the new soya. Census takers unavailable for comment.
Speaking of CIAT and its genebank, the rise and rise of cassava in Asia. And Nigeria? Let the neo-colonialism discourse begin.
Re-wilding is not colonialism, is it?
You can grow your lemons underground if it’s cold. Or just for the hell of it, frankly, because why not? Oh, yeah, there’s also breeding.
Booze goes green. But not so green as to support genebanks.
