'Nativizing' food crops - a key strategy of 'adaptation agriculture' - presents particular plant-breeding challenges, especially for crop types such as domesticated tomatoes, which are, problematically, both self-pollinating and genetically bottle-necked. facebook.com/share/p/49Pxgwo7NLdWoS2H/?mibextid=K35XfP

Next year, with increased, selected seed to hand, we'll have material to share. And, we also hope is to complicate the Tough Cookie Tomato Project orientiation by taking the project a whole evolutionary step further, crossing the threshold from working with an essentially physical mix of tomato genetics toward genepool adaptation itself. How we'll do this, we don't yet know but here's Joseph Lofthouse, offering vital counsel to us around this effort:
