- Fagioli in Italian cooking.
- Most valuable forests for C and biodiversity mapped.
- Guard animals.
Nibbles: mtDNA, Bison, Crises
- mtDNA inheritance not so straightforward after all. Everybody panic.
- Some bison herds more diverse than others. Care needed in genetic management of species. Well I never.
- It’s not a food crisis, it’s a crop diversity crisis.
Nibbles: Wikiforéts, Super-rape, Gut microbiome, Soybeans, Golf courses, Chestnuts, Rice, Yeast
- Wiki for African forest information. Go, make it multilingual, fill in the gaps, use it.
- Canola (rape) desalinates, gives fuel and enriched fodder. Jeremy comments: “I’m a tad skeptical.”
- Diversity of intestinal flora good for your figure. Or the other way around.
- Edamame bean comes to Britain. Why, one wonders.
- Golf courses good for salamanders. I wonder if anyone’s looked at how many CWRs they support.
- Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
- Rice domestication unpacked.
- More extreme beer. Oh, and the phylogeny of yeast.
Nibbles: Perennial rice, Mutations
- Not seen my copy yet, but the Land Institute is moving into perennial rice.
- More mutations, for faster breeding, now.
Nibbles: Marijuana, Yellow River, Chicha, Drips
- More (than you might possibly ever want) on that ancient weed.
- Yellow River unfit “even for agriculture”. Via.
- Danny does chicha. We await a full report.
- Drip irrigation uses more water! Say it isn’t so. Via.
