@NoemaMag @Hieraaetus end/ 'Adaptation agriculture' and 'applied agrobiodiversity' are emergent terms describing the vast array of complementary bio-cultural practices aimed at reinhabiting our diets and thus our lives. This includes 'nativizing' genepools of annual and perennial food crop cultivars. x.com/nick_routledge1/status/1737253268630511998

Four tweets demystify the details.

When winter cropping, I go with Gulag Stars in greenhouses, and Simone Broadleaf in field.

America's finest collard diversity. Our population includes Utopian Seed Project's 'Ultracross Collards', a 21-variety composite interbreeding population from North Carolina.

I hang on the coattails of an extraordinary cluster of holistic plant breeders - the folk largely responsible for my bioregion's rep as the 'de facto' epicenter of global 'oleraceae' _and_ 'napus' kale diversity.
