  • Visit Cuba with boffins of the University of Washington Botanic Gardens. Well that sounds like fun.
  • You liked naked oats? Get a load of naked pumpkins. Comments disabled for Manitoba farmers.
  • Psst, wanna genebank data management system? Only slightly used…
  • Something else you can blame your beer belly on: wheat.
  • Have your forest and eat it too.
  • Solving malnutrition in Zambia. I wanna know more about those “improved seed varieties.”
  • And about these too for that matter: “…ICARDA is urgently sending to Libya seeds of wheat, barley, legume and forage crops for the 2011-2012 cropping season…” Incidentally, any news about the Agricultural Research Centre in Tripoli?
  • Forest certification helps nearby Heritage Sites.
