Lies, damn lies

Nutritional statistics in trouble.

1. Another genebank in Australia. Unclear how it relates to the existing ones.
2. Ghana’s genebank in funding trouble.
3. How to run a community seed bank, according to the Bureau of Indian Standards. Apparently includes things like its relationship with other genebanks and funding.
4. How to change legislation in Kenya to be more supportive of genebanks.
5. Why we need genebanks in the first place.
6. Otherwise decent podcast on the potato manages not to mention genebanks.
7. Otherwise decent article on ube (Dioscorea alata) manages not to mention genebanks.
8. Otherwise excellent dissection of the strawberry manages not to mention genebanks.
