A nitrogen-fixing organelle, or “nitroplast,” has been identified in a marine alga. This discovery sheds light on the evolutionary transition from endosymbiont to organelle.

Does conservation work? Our paper by Re:wild shows that it does: a global analysis of 665 trials (incl. several by RSPB Science) found that conservation improved the state of biodiversity or slowed declines in two-thirds of cases BirdLife Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Spent the past two days at NordGen with colleagues from the Ukrainian PGR Center finalizing a strategy for long-term conservation of #PGRFA . In addition to scientists from Ukraine, participants included experts from Food and Agriculture Organization PlantTreaty NordGen The Crop Trust BMEL

How to request genebank accessions through Genesys PGR?

Many seeds with data in Genesys are available for research purposes, and Genesys can relay requests for material from the holding genebank to the user.

Very pleased to see my most recent application for field trials of GM camelina at Rothamsted Research has been approved by Defra UK for another 4 years. Over 60 genes and 10 different promoters to test the optimal combinations providing a sustainable terrestrial source of fish oils.

Geographical indications (GIs) refer to products with characteristics or reputations resulting from their geographical origin.

They bring unique qualities & traditions to the table.

This may be one of the biggest papers I ever have the privilege to be part of.

Out now in Science Magazine, we ask: Are nature conservation interventions working?

The answer is YES. We now need to fund MORE to reverse global biodiversity declines.

The benefits of a #FoodSystems transformation are worth between 5 & 10 trillion USD per year. The impact can be seen in the form of improved #nutrition & #FoodSecurity , but also reduced carbon emissions, better energy usage & a more protected environment.

I wanted to make the kind of bread the residents of Çatalhöyük made. It was the largest settlement in the Neolithic world, 10,000 inhabitants. They hunted, foraged, but also gathered grains and made bread. These are the saddle querns (for grinding) they used (from Ankara Museum).

🇪🇹 Some of the largest tree planting programmes in Ethiopia are part of agricultural development programmes that includes support for “Forest and Landscape Restoration”, where emphasis is on restoring “landscapes” rather than “forests”.
