    3. Rice genebanks in Bangladesh and at IRRI are pretty solid.
    4. There’s a pretty solid platform for India’s community seed banks.
    5. I hope Nagaland’s wild bananas end up in genebanks.
    6. Cassava’s diversity is in multiple genebanks, and that’s a good thing, CBSD and all.
    7. ICARDA’s genebank back in the Syrian news, though in a good way for once.
