Fresh Nibbles

    1. Agriculture is bad for natural ecosystems. But great for maps, you have to admit.
    2. Greens are good for you. And this is a great roundup of the latest scholarship on brassica evolution, domestication and diversity. You’ll find most of the paper quoted in past Brainfoods.
    3. Grains are great. Especially with greens.
    4. Thank goodness for household seed banking. Especially in conjunction with the formal kind.
    5. All so we can breed a better peanut. And cut down more natural ecosystem?
    6. No, there’s community genebanks for that too…
