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.

    2. Native grains returning to Indigenous land in Australia too.

    6. And genebanks too of course, like the Millennium Seed Bank.
    7. As part of a comprehensive conservation systems, goes without saying, like in China.
    8. Which also include climate-proof protected areas.
    9. It worked for soybeans, after all.
    10. Well, for now anyway…
