Food systems are the main driver of biodiversity loss and one of the largest users of water resources - but research shows that agriculture can become the solution, says @fadeclerck, @BiovIntCIAT_eng at #COP15. All #OneCGIAR events at @CBD_COP15: on.cgiar.org/3VLi01d

📰 Our latest 🍌 discovery is in the @nytimes! Wild bananas offer the genetic #biodiversity that can help this staple crop survive diseases and climate change. 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for the rest of this week, as we share more research on #bananas. nytimes.com/2022/10/17/scien…
The Search is on for Mysterious Banana Ancestors: a new study shows that domesticated bananas have genetic markers tying them to three types of wild bananas that have not yet been found.
