• Want to teach about agrobiodiversity? Help is at hand.
• Want to learn about agrobiodiversity? Stay here.
• Want to know what’s going on in biodiversity conservation at Cambridge? Here’s how. Tell us if agriculture gets a look-in. If it doesn’t, come back here. But I bet there’ll be something about landscapes.
• What is a landscape? “The answer … differs tremendously depending on the respondent,” it says here. Wow, those Cambridge boffins will be so shocked.
• Want to know about the plants in that landscape whose definition is so much in the hands of respondents? Most were discovered by just a few botanical superstars. But how many women?
• And if that landscape is Turkish and there are (is?) livestock in it, this is what you’ll see.
• Want to tour the world’s top evolution sites? Here’s the first stop. Now, how about crop evolution (and domestication, natch) sites. Like some livestock- and crop-wild-relative-discovered-by-a-botanical-superstar-filled Turkish landscape, perhaps.
• Or what about sites connected with food production and marketing more generally, for that matter. No, that list would be too long. Interesting, but too long. Would need to prioritize ruthlessly.
• One thing for certain, though, it should include a couple of community genebanks.
• Where it is not inconceivable that seeds would be protected following age-old practices. Which may or may not be taught in fancy courses.
• Oh, and beer.
