Players balance their need to harvest crops against their collective goal to store & preserve seeds in the #SeedVault. Players who harvest too much endanger seed diversity & threaten #Catan with a collapse of the food supply 👏👏👏Well done @CropTrust @catan!

2018 is shaping up to be the 5th warmest year on record behind 2016 (the warmest), 2015, 2017, & 2014, per NOAA ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/20… Should have been part of the political discussion in U.S. election year. Wasn't. Big impacts on farmers @CropTrust @FAOclimate @cgiarclimate_EA

401 consecutive months of "above average" global temperatures. I think I detect a trend, maybe even change! Coincidence? Nope. AG adaptation @cgiar needed. And diversity! @croptrust @GlobalSeedVault ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/20…

I’ve been to lots of labs, but never one that doubled as a working kitchen. Until now... b-gat.es/2uUvXkW
