Surf’s up in Solomons

My friend Tony Jansen and his friend Jon put together this fun video on the Solomon Islands. It’s ostensibly about surfing, but there’s stuff in there about agricultural biodiversity too. I met Tony when he was working at Kastom Gaden Association, a great local NGO working on sustainable agriculture and nutrition issues. We worked together on the livelihoods assessment of the Weather Coast of Guadalcanal.

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.
