Perfect maize, in three simple steps
http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/story/0,13026,1043828,00.html
Tim Radford on scientific research that's transforming lives in Kenya
Thursday September 18, 2003
The Guardian
Subsistence farmers in Kenya are transforming their lives with a
simple yet cutting-edge scheme dreamed up by two British scientists.
The project has already multiplied maize yields, delivered fresh milk,
seen off two major pests and brought cash to an economy on the edge of
starvation. And it couldn't be more organic.
The lesson started in an English country garden. Scientists at the
world's oldest agricultural laboratory at Rothamsted in Hertfordshire
set out to learn precisely why volatile chemical signals from one
plant species switched on the appetites of a predator insect, and
another switched them off. Black bean aphids fall upon legumes because
their tiny antennae are tuned precisely to pick up the "eat-me" signal
from a legume, but stay away from brassicas because cabbages send out
a chemical "don't eat me" call sign. Plant cabbages and beans
side-by-side and the insect detects both signals and gets thoroughly
confused. So canny gardeners intercrop.

For Kenyan Cattle Farmers, TIGR is No Longer Just a Predator

SAVANNAH, GA Sept. 23 (GenomeWeb News) - Genome sequence provides some
pretty hot information for biologists, but what's in it for Kenyan
cattle farmers?
Apparently, quite a lot, according to Evans Taracha, of the
International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi, who spoke at
the GSAC conference here during an afternoon symposium on microbial
genomics. Taracha heads up the ILRI's end of a multi-continent
consortium that is using genomics to attack a attack East Coast fever,
a parasitic cattle disease that costs East African farmers to lose a
million cattle, and up to $169 million, a year, according to his
estimates.

Grant Aims at More Healthful Crops
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/21/health/nutrition/21FOOD.html
By ANDREW POLLACK
Published: October 21, 2003
or about a decade, a project called HarvestPlus has been promoting an
idea for fighting malnutrition in the third world: develop crops with
higher levels of vitamins and minerals. Now HarvestPlus will get a
chance to put its plan into action. It received a $25 million grant
last week from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation giving it the
money to jump-start its effort.

The once proud breadfruit humbled by Spam
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/environment/story.jsp?story=457197
Climate change and the rise of a Western-style diet is putting one of
the South Pacific's traditional symbols at risk
By Kathy Marks in Sydney
26 October 2003
Experts are warning that the Pacific breadfruit tree, which
contributed to the mutiny on the Bounty and was once hailed as the
solution to world hunger, is in serious decline.
The tree - part of the iconography of the South Pacific - is vanishing
at an alarming rate in some areas, mainly because of global warming
and a switch to Western-style diets. Some varieties have been lost
and, on certain atolls, the breadfruit has died out completely.
