Information
| Blog Name: | Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog |
| Url: | http://agro.biodiver.se |
| Language: | English |
| Topics: | agriculture, genebanks, agrobiodiversity |
| Description: | Separated by half a world but united by their passion for agricultural biodiversity and the internet, Luigi Guarino and Jeremy Cherfas decided to create a space that would allow them to indulge their passions and maybe do some good. This blog is it. Our aim is to collect in one place anything we find on the internet that relates somehow to the notion of agricultural biodiversity (or agrobiodiversity, though we don’t particularly like the word), a big tent but one that the whole of humanity shelters beneath. If that helps others to find things of interest, so much the better. We welcome contributions, either as comments to the items on the website, or as a message you can send from here. You don’t even need to register (though it would be nice if you did). So what are you waiting for? About us, there’s not much more that needs to be said. We’re both professionally involved in biodiversity (and it isn’t hard to find out how) but this site is an entirely private affair for which we alone are responsible. We may even be available for work, if there’s something you need doing. |

In 2007, we planted those seeds at K-State’s John C. Pair Horticulture Center near Wichita. Each seed had the potential to be a unique new variety.”

Nibbles: Climate change edition
Climate change good for wild boar. And bores? Climate change good for English wine makers. Climate change bad for Africa. Already. Climate change bad for Nenets and their reindeer. Already.

Nibbles: Mutton, Vegetaballs, Orchids
Why real farming needs great cooking. Upland mutton? I’d eat that. Down-your-throat vegetarianism. Justine bouche? I’d eat that. Orchid cuisine in Bhutan. Olachotho? I’d eat that.
