496) BSF project "Multi-country Construction of A Test Platform for the Development and Allocation of Unique Identifiers for Rice Germplasm"
World population continues to grow and climate change is contributing to the loss of crop biodiversity. Genebank collections around the world hold the genetic material needed to maintain crop diversity and meet food security challenges. The quality and management of the information associated with the...

499) Permaculture training brings diversity to Eswatini’s smallholder food systems
Permaculture is a regenerative farming practice that creates food-producing gardens that are also self-maintained habitats. By modelling agricultural plots after natural ecosystems, it is possible to get more out of the land with less inputs. Permaculture is a process that works with, rather than against,...

500) Local food crop production can fulfil demand for less than one-third of the population
The distance between the origin and end-point of food supply chains, and the ‘localness’ of food systems, are key considerations of many narratives associated with sustainability. Yet, information on the minimum distance to food crops is still scarce at the global level. Using an optimization model...
