Nibbles: Food production, Mauka

  • “A new initiative to help pastoralists and smallholder farmers cope with the twin pressures of drought and climate change.” Yes, but what is the initiative going to do?
  • Rhizowen gets mawkishly paternal about his mauka.

Fresh Nibbles

    1. A conference on biodiversity in agri-food systems. Including agrobiodiversity?
    2. A photo essay about food value chains in India. Including agrobiodiversity?
    3. A few examples of FAO’s work on how agriculture sustains biodiversity. Including agrobiodiversity.
    4. An app to track seeds. And therefore agrobiodiversity.
    5. A warning that 75% of the agrobiodiversity of Morocco’s wheat and barley has been lost in the past 50 years. Ah, so that 75% number is true of something after all. Maybe they could use SeedTracker.
    6. A reminder that pastoralists guard biodiversity. Including agrobiodiversity.
    7. A Genesys for weed. Well, I guess it’s agrobiodiversity.
