You can't see or taste it, but zinc changes lives 🌾 Around 2 billion people don't get enough. CGIAR, @cimmyt.bsky.social and partner breeders are now building zinc straight into elite wheat, so better nutrition comes baked into the varieties farmers already choose 👉 on.cgiar.org/4w0DcDj

I suspect it's a lot to do with income.higher income teens use social media more but have lower suicide rates . Not saying that's all that's going on , but it needs to be disagrgated.

The only time society has reduced emissions was during Covid, when less of us worked. The authors’ proposal for a 2.5 day work week will no doubt be dismissed by a culture that treats full‑time employment as a kind of secular virtue but I hope someone listens. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Last week I visited the largest rice millers in Ghana, to see our fortification project in action. Cereals fortified with minerals and a selection of vitamins remains one of the most cost effective ways to deal with micronutrient deficiency. With thanks to @wfp.org and @rockefellerfdn.bsky.social

Loved @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social's book on the history of Big Ag. I wish I could have read it at the start of my career. Don't be put off by the cover there's loads about our contemporary food system too, and to quote Pearl S Buck 'If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday' 📚💙

On the plus side dollar weakness lowers the value of dollar-denominated debt, which would alleviate some fiscal constraints for highly indebted economies in Africa . (Would love an actual economist to confirm if that’s true )

Not sure it is higher yielding than parent ‘Three years of field trials in China show that the new strain emits 70% less methane than its commercial parent and produces almost twice the amount of grain per hectare compared with the global average, ‘….which is a bit ambiguous.
