Working with farmers, this EU FP7 INCO-DEV project will identify genotypes and parents for breeding programmes, assess genetic diversity, collect germplasm, and catalogue indigenous knowledge. We will assess effects on human nutrition and assess environmental adaptation.Phil Hollingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06871633927844949488noreply@blogger.comBlogger41100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26478740.post-1166192990773495682006-12-15T14:21:00.000Z2006-12-15T14:29:50.783ZThe <a href="http://www.gdnet.org/middle.php?oid=237&zone=docs&amp;action=doc&amp;doc=11100">Global Development Network (GDN) </a>has advertised on its web site a study by S. <span class="title_dblue2_mid">Mittal, (</span><span class="title_dblue2_mid">Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations ICRIER) on "</span><span class="title_dblue2_big"> Structural shift in demand for food: projections for 2020 </span><span class="title_dblue2_mid"><span class="text_main">Does everyone have access to enough quantities of food to meet his dietary needs?".<br /><br />I haven't yet read the report but I presume it will have some relevance for our project.<br /><br />The report can be <a href="http://www.icrier.org/pdf/WP_184.pdf">downloaded</a> from the ICRIER web site.<br />RAEM<br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26478740-116619299077349568?l=ricebean.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RAE Muellernoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26478740.post-1157549673672825082006-09-06T14:33:00.000+01:002006-09-06T14:34:33.686+01:00Mohan, V.R. &amp; Janardhanan, K. 1994: Chemical composition and nutritional evaluation of raw seeds of six ricebean varieties.
