Nibbles: Palestinian genebank, PNG seeds, Local chickens, Landscapes

  • New seed bank on West Bank. This one seems to be a genebank. I think.
  • Seeds and needs in PNG.
  • ILRI PowerPoint on Ethiopian chickens. But 46 slides?
  • Everybody’s talking about the new Landscapes for People, Food and Nature thing, so I guess we should too.
