Nibbles: China genebanks, African genebanks, PNG genebank, Opportunity crops, Bananocalypse, IRRI genebank, African Runner Peanut, Australian genebank, Agrobiodiversity, Navajo agriculture, Wayuu agriculture, COPs

With remarkable regularity, China announces some impressive genebank thing. Like a catalog for 105 tropical crop genebanks. But where is it?
On the other hand, we probably don’t hear enough about African genebanks, so this piece is very welcome.
Or about genebanks in Papua New Guinea, for that matter.
Have we heard enough about “opportunity crops” yet? No, probably not.
We will never stop hearing about the “bananocalypse,” I suspect.
Or about the IRRI genebank from Mike Jackson. Not that I mind.
The latest on the African Runner Peanut, about which we have blogged before. Several times. Not that I mind.
I will never tire of hearing about genebanks getting loads of money.
I will also never tire of hearing about win-win outcomes for biodiversity and food production.
The Navajo know all about that. And the Wayuu people in Guajira, Colombia for that matter.
We will soon all be tired of hearing about all the various COPs, but for now let’s see what the Dutch genebank and, let’s see who else we have, ok, sure, why not, ESG investors — what do they have to say?
