Grasshopper stew

Apparently, harvesting grasshoppers mechanically to eat and sell them is not only good for your nutrition and income, it can also save on pesticide use. Another benefit of micro-livestock. Or is it mini? Whichever, pests are agrobiodiversity too!

Fresh Nibbles

    1. Dr Fiona Hay, seed scientist, on why we need genebanks, including seed banks.
    2. Prof. Richard Ellis retires. A genebank legend, as Fiona would probably agree.
    3. FAO exhibition goes From Seeds to Foods. By way of genebanks, no doubt.
    4. And peasants, of course. No, it’s not a derogatory word, settle down.
    5. Can Green Revolution breeding approaches (and genebanks) help peasants deal with climate change?
    6. Even genebanks need a back-up plan though.
    7. New Mexico genebank helps out Danish chef.
    8. The history of the Concord grape and its foxiness. Chefs intrigued.
    9. The history of Aport and Amasya apples. No foxiness involved, as far as I know. Genebanks? Probably.
    10. The origin of caffeine. Now do foxiness.
    11. Where did collards come from anyway? No, not genebanks. Bloody historians, always re-writing history.
