Fresh Nibbles

    1. Three Sisters rematriated to historical Cherokee Nation.
    2. Native grains returning to Indigenous land in Australia too.
    3. May need to bring back agricultural practices too, like in Peru.
    4. Meanwhile, in India, farmers are trying to grow apples in new places. Go figure.
    5. Anyway, seems like the IFOAM Seeds Platform might be able to help.
    6. And genebanks too of course, like the Millennium Seed Bank.
    7. As part of a comprehensive conservation systems, goes without saying, like in China.
    8. Which also include climate-proof protected areas.
    9. It worked for soybeans, after all.
    10. Well, for now anyway…
