On the other hand, areas that have more conifers will see fewer transformations to their landscape.鈥�

In 2019 鈥� with the help of the Borlaug Training Foundation 鈥� [Germination] put out the call to plant breeders asking them what they would do if they had $10 million to make the world a better place. Valerio Hoyos-Villegas, pulse breeder at 麻豆色情片, answered the call. He tells his story about how growing up around the coffee farms of Colombia set him on the path to helping feed the planet. Hosted by Germination editor Marc Zienkiewicz.
Originaire des Andes en Colombie, Valerio Hoyos-Villegas a grandi en milieu agricole et a 茅tudi茅 l鈥檃griculture partout dans le monde. Il comprend bien le d茅fi que repr茅sente la production alimentaire.

Pourtant, sa production demeure marginale. La raison听: le manque de puret茅 des semences.
