Fresh Nibbles

    1. People in the Nejapan Sierra Sur in Oaxaca, Mexico had a seed bank 400-700 years ago so they could re-create their complex cuisine after disruptions.
    2. How MSSRF revived millets in Odisha, India. You think a seed bank was involved?
    3. Meanwhile, in Meghalaya (also India), foraged foods are helping to diversify state-provided school lunches and address chronic malnutrition. Talk about complex cuisine. Are all these species in a seed bank somewhere, though? Do they need to be?
    4. How the National Soybean Germplasm Collection at the Agricultural Research Service lab in Urbana, Illinois helped save soybeans in Iowa.
    5. University breeding programmes are keeping the apple afloat in the USA. That and genebanks.
    6. Farmers and agrotourism are bringing back some cool flavors in Albania. Well, that and the Albanian Gene Bank.
    7. Fish need genebanks too, and Bangladesh is on it. Did ancient Bangladeshis have them, I wonder?
