How was and is it possible to feed cities and their populations?
Manoela Pedroza (@uff_br) and Rosário Oliveira (@icsunivlisboa) will help us understand it in the next Winter Seminar - next Thursday (22/02), 14:30-16:00 (GMT).
Registration here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
The Seeding Ideas Blog was an opportunity to gather and disseminate the interdisciplinary knowledge that is being built on crops. So many perspectives have been explored, so many still to explore... I am very grateful to all the authors who accepted the @reseedproject invitation.
4 years of Seeding Ideas blog! This interdisciplinary journey allowed us to interact with amazing authors from different sciences! To conclude, PI @MDulceFreire reviews the project's challenges while "looking for words to open the black box". Here: reseed.uc.pt/index.php/2023/…

#Botany in the #IberianPeninsula owes much to the Salvador family. Their work (17th-19th cent.) resulted in a magnificent scientific cabinet & diverse contributions that nobody but @Neus_Ibanez76 (@IBB_botanic) could tell us better! In Seeding Ideas blog: reseed.uc.pt/index.php/2023/…

The letter with the answers to the survey is one of the various interesting objects from the exhibition "A Casa d'Um Povo (1941-2000)" at Mosteiro de Tibães in Braga. An archival memory we suggest you visit! Until September 3rd, free admission😊 More info: mosteirodetibaes.gov.pt/a-ca…

Beans, potatoes, maize...
The year was 1941, Estado Novo. The National Foundation for Joy at Work organised a survey on the life of rural workers. The answers from the parish of Mire de Tibães confirmed: the American seeds became essential food in the Minho region.

What happened to wheat over the centuries? Why is the bread no longer the same as that of our grandparents? The podcast "Próprio para consumo" (PT) is a gem and this week's episode has the participation of researcher Carlos Faísca! Put the headphones on: podbean.com/ep/pb-q5d3z-1458…

There are many challenges related to sustainable food production/consumption. How research can contribute? 102 projects (2007-2020), with a combined @ERC_Research funding of 228M €, have been working on the answer, including ReSEED! Check out the report:

Spelt wheat has been cultivated in Iberia at least since the 5th century BC. What are its origins? How was spelt harvested & stored? Why & when did it become a relevant crop in northern areas? João Tereso (@CIBIO_InBIO) explains in the Seeding Ideas blog!

Less hierarchy, more participation. Avoid fuelling polarisation. Be open to dialogue, helping combat misinformation. Build relationships of trust with consumers.
Some topics of the debate “How to communicate & enhance science in agriculture & food”. Here:

This month, #rye is still the topic on the Seeding Ideas blog. Now we focus on the South of Portugal: Luísa Ricardo (@Tavira1520) gives a first-person perspective, sharing her experience and knowledge from fieldwork in Algarve. You shouldn't miss it!

É uma delícia organizar eventos com pessoas comprometidas, para um público que se envolve, participa, interage. Obrigada, @INIAV_IP, pela parceria e oportunidade! Também agradeço às queridas @RitalmeidaNeves e Ana Carvalho (@uc_iii) por dinamizarem a oficina connosco. #scicomm

Founded in 1995 by Edouard Cointreau, every year it honours the best food/wine books. As stated, “All books are chosen for their appeal & importance from an international point of view. These books deserve to be promoted & to become known internationally” We agree! Congrats! :)
