I want you to learn about an amazing project in Lebanon, called Buzuruna Juzuruna. The project was initiated together with Syrian refugees that had to learn the lesson that food sovereignty is not an option, but a necessity.
https://shorkk.com/buzuruna-juzuruna-a-haven-of-solidarity-in-times-of-war/
The article is from 2024, during the last war, when Buzuruna Juzuruna used their stored grains and legumes to support solidarity kitchens that were feeding the refugees.
Now in 2026, they are doing the same thing again. But last year they could do so much more. Seedbanks. Food processing. Farmer Field Schools. Agroecological farming techniques. Alphabetization. Culture. Art.

Here's their instagram, for mor up-to-date news

I think every day about them.#Lebanon #agroecology #Syria #GoodNews #Israel #BuzurunaJuzuruna #SeedBank #PeasantFarming #FoodSovereignty #Germany #Staatsräson #EternalDarkness

Really enjoyed this study from Ruby Paroissien at UNSW and the Australian Plantbank, looking at seed dispersal in the wet sclerophyll forests of SE Aus following the 2019/20 disaster fire season.
They found that post-fire seed dispersal from rainforest species was almost entirely absent 😟 hugely concerning when we have begun to see some of our oldest rainforests burn.
A highlight of the paper is Ruby's hand-drawn seed illustrations!

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I expanded my collection of #Tolkien books with The Tower and the Ruin: J.R.R. Tolkien's Creation from W.W. Norton
- I used my employer's Christmas voucher to buy a copy of Simon Parkin's The Forbidden Garden of Leningrad: A True Story of Science and Sacrifice in a City under Siege from Sceptre (look out for a review in due course).
- I also found a second-hand copy of What Is Regeneration? from the University of Chicago Press.#Books #Scicomm #Literature #DevelopmentalBiology #SeedBank #Botany #Bookstodon @bookstodon

"While crop seed vaults are common around the world, nurseries for wild and native plants are rare, and many plant species quietly become extinct. This marks #Gurukula out as a Noah’s ark for endangered plant species."

#Philippines #AgroEcology highlight from @AgroecologyMap
"Kuatro Marias' Agroecology Farm, located in San Narciso, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro, is a pioneering model of sustainable agriculture in the Philippines. Established in 1998, the farm operates on the principles of agroecology, focusing on harmonizing agricultural productivity with #environmental #stewardship. With a mission rooted in #biodiversity protection and #sustainable resource use, the farm avoids synthetic chemicals, instead leveraging natural cycles to nurture its crops, livestock, and aquaculture systems. Its name symbolizes balance and sustainability, honoring the four elements and the proprietor’s four daughters.
"The farm showcases an Integrated Diversified Organic Farming System (#IDOFS), where crops, livestock, and aquaculture coexist in a symbiotic relationship. This includes a #FoodForest with diverse trees like #ube and #cinnamon, a pond supporting #tilapia and other fish, and naturally fed chickens and hogs. A unique #SeedBank ensures the preservation of genetic diversity while minimizing waste. These practices not only enhance productivity but also build resilience against climate change and natural disasters, embodying agroecological principles that prioritize soil health, ecological balance, and community well-being."

Johnson's vision reaches beyond his nine acres. By initiating a seed bank and a youth agricultural program, he intends to pass down his knowledge to future generations, thus preserving their language and culture through farming. #SeedBank #YouthEngagement

I had known some of this story. But not that he was captured in #Ukraine.
Or the part about the rats and mice becoming desperate.
Nikolai Vavilov and his seed bank. I've been waiting for a good biography.

#January 26, 1943
#OTD Nikolai Vavilov, Russian #Botanist & #Plant #Geneticist, died of starvation at the Saratov concentration camp.Meanwhile, Nikolai's team of scientists were held up inside the Russian #SeedBank, saving the precious repository from the 900-day siege of #StPetersburg. Placing the security of the world's seeds (some edible) over their own survival, some valiant #Botanists starved to death.
Today the seed bank honors Niko as the Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic Resources.
