Posted on October 5, 2011October 5, 2011Nibbles: Graphic agriculture, Nutrition, Climate change, Giant pumpkins, Economic development, Roman millet, Fairtrade, Jojoba and guayule Agriculture 101: A graphic novel. Am I the only one who thinks novels aren’t necessarily true? First installment. Bioversity has a bunch of factsheets on Nutritious Underutilized Species. Why is a cacao tree not like an ATM? Because the ATM still pays out when its hot. Speaking of which, big long thought piece on Food Security and Climate Change. Giant pumpkins; not much diversity here, except in the agronomic approaches. Better access to markets may threaten specialist smallholder farmers. The case of Namibia. Ancient Roman ate lots of C4 photosynthesiser: millet! Wake up and smell the lack of green coffee. A couple of wannabe Mexican industrial crops get some exposure.
Posted on September 30, 2011September 30, 2011Nibbles: Moringa, Fungi, Blue potatoes, GRAIN, Nutrition, Maize Day, Sorghum research Mexico embraces moringa against malnutrition. Get your mushroom spores here. (You’ll need something for the headache the page induces.) Scientist Gardener discovers blue potato chips at altitude. GRAIN gets altNobel. It’s not the winning. It’s the being nominated. Bioversity stuns world with nutrition strategy. While Jess does poo. Damn, looks like we missed National Maize Day again. How your United Sorghum Checkoff dollars are being spent.
