The genes of our crops and their wild relatives matter. They are key for food security and both climate change adaption and mitigation. The seed vault on Svalbard is a fantastic example of a collective effort build to preserve crop genetic resources. But do we focus enough on how we not only preserve but also use crop genetic resources to secure our food systems?
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault celebrated its 15th anniversary this year! Currently, the Vault holds more than 1,2 million seed samples, making it the world's most diverse collection of food crop seeds! Discover more through a virtual tour ➡️ https://buff.ly/3YWJpzB

It appears that these treemaps are gaining attention. It's worth noting that the Harvested Area differs from Cropland. The share of Rice cropland area would likely be much smaller due to its higher harvest frequency (multi-cropping). And also check out this plot for food calories (generated by #gcamfaostat): [https://lnkd.in/e63MEEtY]

Cassava is a major staple crop for much of the world, but it was largely ignored by research for many years because it was difficult to work with and improve. With the help of groundbreaking research by Nigel Taylor, PhD, that has changed in recent years. He and his lab are developing more resilient and nutritious crops for resource-poor farmers, empowering them to have more choice in their lives. Meet Nigel and learn more about his work at Conversations: Nourishing Our Future, where Nigel will be a panelist: https://loom.ly/OrI_RQY

When you're starting seeds, you may want to consider soaking them in SoilMix by Natura Solve. I just got done with this little series, and you can see from soak through initial start, what happens with soaked vs un-soaked seeds. https://bit.ly/seedsoak #seedprep #soilmix #naturalsolutions #naturasolve

Measurements are useless without review bit also an end point. By having a target you provide accountability for your solution. With this paddock, we have aimed at reducing soil EC levels. Once at the recommended levels we will drop applications but continue to monitor. Soil test will confirm field measurements next month. #measuremeasuremeasure #dataisking #BioPlan #takingthebsoutofbiology
End of season measurements at one of our vineyards. With latest application of BioHub Sequest being applied as part of their soil strategy last month resulted in a drop of 40% since September last year. We will be conducting soil tests next visit to review its application next season. #measuremeasuremeasure #BioPlan #sequest

https://lnkd.in/dD_XMUR2 According to this article, companies like Bunge, TIAA, and Harvard are involved in land grabbing and deforestation in the Brazilian Cerrado. They engage in speculative land market activities, treating land as a financial asset and converting native vegetation into industrial soy monocultures. These companies, along with others, promote the expansion of soy monocropping in the region, which often involves deforestation and land grabbing through falsified land titles. Financial corporations like TIAA and academic institutions like Harvard are implicated in these destructive practices alongside agribusiness giants such as Bunge.
