The annual courses organized by Wageningen University on Plant Genetic Resources and Resilient Seed Systems for Sustainable Food Security and on Contemporary Approaches to Genetic Resources Conservation and Use will be online this year. Find out more and apply.
Oh, wait, so will EUCARPIA’s international conference on Breeding and Seed Sector Innovations for Organic Food Systems.
Anybody zoomed out yet?
Toolbox tuber released
The Toolbox offers a collection of 11 tools that help diagnose, evaluate and improve seed systems of banana, cassava, potato, sweet potato, and yam. These tools can be used by researchers, policy makers, and practitioners working on seed systems of these crops.
Interested? The launch is on 2 March and you can register for the online event.
They’ll help with that pesky adoption gap, hopefully.
