Simposio de Recursos Genéticos para América Latina y el Caribe

Greetings from Mexico DF. I’m here for SIRGEALC, which is always a great opportunity to meet up with old friends working on agricultural biodiversity in the Americas, and see what they’ve been up to lately. I’ll try to blog about the highlights as the week goes on.

Fresh Nibbles

    1. AI doesn’t recognize tropical agriculture very well.
    2. So presumably it can’t easily be used in assessing climate change impacts in agricultural heritage systems? FAO has some ideas on how to do it.
    3. Maybe rice heritage systems can be used to make cheese.
    4. I bet Andean blueberry (Vaccinium floribundum) goes great with rice cheese.
    5. But if not, heritage apples will probably do.
    6. The Hungarian genebank is hoping to inject heritage grains into non-heritage agricultural systems. AI and FAO unavailable for comment.
    7. Maybe AI can help with the mystery of this old seed collection at the Natural History Museum, London.
