Fresh Nibbles

    1. “Our traditional crops are not just food. They are life. They are our ancestors’ legacy and our children’s inheritance.”
    2. “Banana diversity is not only a scientific or agricultural asset — it is the sector’s insurance for the future.”
    3. “Through my parents, I learned that agriculture doesn’t just feed people, it also makes the world more beautiful.”
    4. “Genebank work depends on accumulated knowledge. If that knowledge isn’t transferred, you don’t just lose experience, you introduce risk.”
    5. “Conserving and using Africa’s plant genetic resources is not a luxury. It is a necessity for resilient agrifood systems in a changing climate.”
