Speaking of digital imagery and its uses in genebanks, get a load of the recently published catalogues of the Cuban sweet potato collection at the Research Institute of Tropical Roots and Tuber Crops (INIVIT), and of Peruvian cacaos. Beautiful. And do yourself a favour and don’t skip the foreword, preface and introduction to the Cuban volume. I found them very eloquent — and moving. Maybe a touch overwrought, admittedly, but it does take some gumption to say, of sweetpotato, in a genebank catalogue of all places, that: “Today, history grants it its revenge.” I just hope it’s true.
