Fresh Nibbles

    1. A little more safety for Ukraine’s seeds, thanks to a new genebank.
    2. A little more safety for Mexico’s native maize, thanks to Pres. Sheinbaum.
    3. A little more safety for Andean agriculture, thanks to Ecuadorian Indigenous women and Inside Mater in Peru.
    4. A little more safety for Ischia’s zampognaro bean and Amalfi’s lemons, thanks to local people (and GIAHS).
    5. A little more safety for Pacific crops, thanks to cryopreservation. Breadfruit next?
    6. A little more safety for moringa? At least in Africa with all its “opportunity crops”?
