UK government consultation on GMO — so-called "precision bred"(!) — seeds and plants is closing soon. Vital opportunity to ensure #GMO #seeds and plant materials are listed in the national seeds listing and labelled on seed packets, so growers know what they're planting!

Remember those packages of #seeds you bought because you were planning on growing a #garden, but the dirt isn't very good for growing crops? Go outside, wet the ground until moist, and toss the seeds down. Just remember to water every day. #water is #life, and life attracts life.

More than 100,000 African #seeds put in #Svalbard Global #SeedVault for safekeeping
Seeds of 177 species from across #Africa to be stored in Norway to preserve #crop diversity in case of disaster.
Among the latest additions are seeds critical to building #climate resilience, such as the tree Faidherbia albida, which turns nitrogen into ammonia and nitrates, and Cordia africana, the Sudan teak, a tree renowned for its strength and durability.
