Fresh Nibbles

    1. AI doesn’t recognize tropical agriculture very well.
    2. So presumably it can’t easily be used in assessing climate change impacts in agricultural heritage systems? FAO has some ideas on how to do it.
    3. Maybe rice heritage systems can be used to make cheese.
    4. I bet Andean blueberry (Vaccinium floribundum) goes great with rice cheese.
    5. But if not, heritage apples will probably do.
    6. The Hungarian genebank is hoping to inject heritage grains into non-heritage agricultural systems. AI and FAO unavailable for comment.
    7. Maybe AI can help with the mystery of this old seed collection at the Natural History Museum, London.
