Fresh Nibbles

    1. Modelling adoption of biofortified crops is no substitute for empirical field surveys. Kind of obvious, but I guess needed saying.
    2. Kenyans may not need biofortified crops, though. Assuming they are actually eating their traditional vegetables.
    3. There’s a whole genebank for Africa’s vegetables.
    4. Saba senegalensis is also naturally biofortified.
    5. The High Atlas Foundation is also on a fruit tree mission
    6. Is the date palm the most important fruit tree in the world, though?
    7. I wonder what will happen to USDA’s fruit tree collections.
