@neeratanden I’m so very sorry. Amy and I send our best wishes. Am sure you were super careful. Hope others take this as a lesson.

New award winning bourbon made w/ southern heritage @cropdiversity rescued by @AnsonMills. Thanks! It's a great story w/ a happy ending this New Year's Eve. https://t.co/gGMtjRffFu Shows importance of conservation and use of diversity @CropTrust, especially corn @CIMMYT

#Farmers in the U.S. get less than 15% of every #food dollar spent. Not even this much at #Thanksgiving. And they have to contend w/ tariffs, #ClimateChange and government denial @realDonaldTrump. They need science and supporters the world over.https://t.co/bvj4wVYe33

[International Potato Center @Cipotato]

Preparing for the #foodsecurity challenges of tomorrow requires that we conserve the #biodiversity we have today. With gratitude to @CropTrust for its tireless commitment to conserving crop diversity. #FunderGratitude

[Holly Holmes @hollycultivate]

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 https://t.co/nGi1PaQZtq Should have been part of the political discussion in U.S. election year. Wasn't. Big impacts on farmers @CropTrust @FAOclimate @cgiarclimate_EA

[Cary Fowler @CaryFowler_]

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 https://t.co/p3lPjdkOOd

Being a Super Hero, I shouldn't "out" myself like this, but what the hell. The drawing brings a smile to my face. Thanks! https://t.co/SlNcN9wFfA

Oceans could contain more plastics than fish in future per Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden #eatforum. Sobering thought.
