Global Crop Diversity Summit held 14 November 2023 in Berlin, Germany

"Stakeholders from around the world gathered to reflect on the current state and future role of agrifood systems in the face interlinked global challenges such as the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, food insecurity, malnutrition, and conflicts. Discussions centered on the role of gene banks, including seed banks, in preserving and restoring crop diversity, with participants reflecting on pathways towards enhanced international cooperation for gene banks and their sustainable funding."

Springdale Elementary students had a blast trying new foods from their gardens as we finish out the growing season with a fall harvest party!

Passion fruit grown in the gardens of Heritage Hill Elementary were shared as a dessert with our Springdale Elementary friends, as were a couple pots of carrots and potatoes.

Fun was had and food was eaten!

Students eat salads and drink mint tea at a table in their playground during the garden session. Two students have finished and are skipping off to play in the background.

Students dump out large pots to find potatoes and carrots in the foreground, while students in the background harvest green beans and lettuce from the beds.

School children shuffle through the dirt they dumped out from a pot to locate all the baby carrots and potatoes they can. One child has a handful of carrots already. One student is shocked and has their mouth wide open as they show off what they found

Four empty school garden beds set ready for winter crops after the fall harvest session. Trees in their fall foliage are in the background

Really sorry, I haven’t had time to send off the seeds yet for the food security project. Still to do is deseeding 100 persimmons - a long sticky ordeal.

The packets will be sent off within two weeks. Bro is visiting, still deep winter garden prep (fixing up raised beds and autumn planting, up-potting dozens of trees, cleaning out sunroom and garage), selling plants and the theatre project which is coming along.

So tired 😴😴😴

I just saw a suggestion to reuse shrimp shells, after you make stock, to add them to compost or work them into your soil! High mineral content, apparently. Genius!

You’d have to bury them well in soil, though. Stinky otherwise.

#Gardening #Fertilizer #Compost #Sustainability #FoodSecurity

Water availability—the difference between precipitation and evaporation—is expected to decrease in many regions of the world because climate change has modified the water cycle, more water will be abstracted by the growing population, and water pollution will continue to limit clean water (1). Estimates of changes in water availability are uncertain at continental and global scales because measurements of precipitation and evaporation tend to be indirect or only locally representative (2). On page 579 of this issue, Zhang et al. (3) report a study that combines streamflow observations of large river basins of the world with terrestrial precipitation data and satellite measurements of evaporation and water storage to show that water availability in the Southern Hemisphere has substantially decreased from 2001 to 2020. With their approach, the authors have improved the reliability of water availability estimates, which could help improve long-term water management.

Went #hiking today and went to my favorite American persimmon tree and it’s dying! 😭 The bark is falling off, the main trunk is broken near the top, and the fruits are really tiny! It might just be old judging by the size of its trunk.

The other wild tree had loads so I finished collecting seeds for the food security project. But I will need to ask if ppl still want the Diospyros seeds.

A hand holding up a bunch of native persimmon fruits. They are round, gentle pinkish orange color and are larger than grapes. The tops to the fruit look like star of anise spice. The background is grass.

Last year the fruits were 2.5 times the size of what is pictured.

A picture of a thick trunk showing that a large section of bark is peeled away. There is a bit of virginiana creeper and greenbrier growing up the trunk but not suffocating it.

A paper bag of American persimmon fruits from the other tree. There are around 40-60 fruits of various stages of ripeness. All were collected from the ground so some of the fruit are almost blue. I collected everything I could find. There is also a large twig of wild sumac near the top of the bundle of fruit.

A new model of upland #farming at Pentwyn is beginning; if viable vegetable production can be married to a rewilded land of birdsong and butterflies, it could prove influential across #Britain and beyond.

At the very least, it confounds the standard critique of rewilding.

“We wanted to say we’ve provided an opportunity for someone to access the land,” says Hitchcock, “and create something that should genuinely benefit local people.”

YouTube started auto playing this vid on me and I got sucked into the first few minutes. On one hand, yes, very cool. On the other hand, look at how dependent our food system is on fossil fuels.

60% of food grown in Ontario is wasted. The worldwide number is similar from my understanding. And don't @ me with people starving in so and so a place. Making more food in rich countries isn't going to fix that.

If we don't transition, the wall will hit super hard when we no longer have the ability to farm without incredibly high fossil fuel inputs.
