FAO Commission meets

The Eleventh regular session of the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA-11) is on in Rome all this week. You can follow the deliberations day by day courtesy of IISD. Better than being there. No, really.

Worldwatch Institute is also taking an interest.

And of course the agenda and all the background documentation are online.

Fresh Nibbles

    1. FAO explains why diversity matters.
    2. Well, for one thing, food prices, that’s why.
    3. Ah, yes, diversity: “You gotta have it. You gotta use it. You gotta talk about it.”
    4. Odisha mainstreams landrace diversity in its seed system.
    5. Meanwhile, the Farmers Union of Cyprus is stashing seeds away in Community Bank of Cypriot Traditional Seeds.
    6. Looks a bit like the Groupements de Production Artisanale de Semences in Haiti. If you squint.
    7. If only there were some guidelines for managing such community seed banks.
    8. Iraqi Kurdistan gets in on the genebank act.
    9. Iraq used to have a genebank, but what happened to it has just happened in Sudan.
    10. Ah, to have a Climate—Conflict—Vulnerability Index so that such things could be predicted and steps taken.
    11. And a monitoring system and some targets would be good too.
