Fresh Nibbles

    1. China announces a slew of seed-related measures.
    2. A slew of seeds kept apples diverse in the US South, but not so much any more.
    3. Fortunately there’s a slew of apples, among many other things, in the USDA genebank system.
    4. Dates too, probably, but this article is actually about the (complementary?) collection at Arizona State University.
    5. A slew of intellectual protections has been good for seed companies. But consumers?
    6. IFG no doubts benefits mightily from intellectual property protection of its grape varieties. The diversity of which you can peruse on this nice website.
    7. Speaking of nice websites, this one helps farmers pick-a-mix of crops. Intercropping is diversity too.
    8. How the coffee industry is trying to cope with a slew of sustainability rules. Yeah, sometimes IP protection is not enough.
    9. But who owns heritage varieties?
    10. Including heritage varieties of Belgian malting barley and other cereals.

    12. It’s unclear what heritage varieties went into making horse-bread, but I’d like to taste the stuff.
    13. But who needs bread (or beer?) anyway? There’s a slew of root and tuber crops in Africa and elsewhere just waiting to solve hunger…
    14. …as Guyana knows well.
    15. Wanna keep track of (most of) the above? FAO has you (sorta) covered via a slew of indicators.
