Highlights

Dear all,

Here comes Augusts' update from the GFU.

I would like to point your attention to a call for contributions we would like to extend to our readers.

Preparation of Geneflow, Bioversity's annual is on course. However given that this year the issue of the Food Crises has been very much a topical issue, we are looking at the possibility of giving the next issue of Gene Flow a strong 'food crises' emphasis. For this to be possible, we need some articles on this subject from across the globe. Initially all what we need is the story brief and some information on what the paper would contain.

Please let us know if you or any of your colleagues would be able to contribute an article in this regard. Messages with the subject "Food crises article for Geneflow" should be sent to our email account (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Terramadre, that will take place in October is hosting on its web site a series of online fora. I am sure you will find some interesting topics that will allow us to voice our "underutilized species" matters into the discussions that will take place during the event.
Here the link to all of the forums Terramadre is offering: http://forum.terramadre2008.org/index.php

We hope you will enjoy reading our update and look forward in hearing from you.
The GFU team
