RE: information for the Web project

Dear Sean and everybody else,
My name is Camillo Catarci and I am working at IPGRI to write a report
on insitu conservation of plant genetic resources for food and
agriculture. My goal is to find relevant case-studies where value was
added to such resources (with an increase of their genetic diversity and
of benefits for farmers) via putting new input into agricultural
processes, market and non market incentives and policy and legal
instruments, and to raise the genetic diversity of the resources. I am
not analysing participatory plant breeding. I would be eternally
thankful to everyone providing information about this.....
Greetings from the Eternal City,
Camillo

> 
> - climate profile (some of these have been sent, I'd love more!);
> please state your location and as much detail about rainfall, temps,

> 
> - public gardens - If you know of a public garden in your area (or

> If you can contact one or more of these places directly and have
> them send me their brochure or detailed information, so much the
> better!
> 
> - societies & groups - Local institutions (large or small) which are
> focused on Mediterranean climate gardening, or at least promote or
> practice somewhat climate appropriate techniques and plant
> selection.
> 
> - plant information - Perhaps you have a favorite plant or genera
> that you'd like to write about or otherwise provide information for,
> hopefully including some photos of good plantings or specimens.
> This might include information about its natural range and habitat.
> It also might include compilations of Medit-Plants or other internet
> discussion posts.
> 
> - Nurseries or other resource institutions - Do you frequent a local
> nursery who supplies you with lots of interesting and worthwhile
> plants for your climate & garden?  Is there some other type of
> horticultural resource that you find particularly useful?
> 
> - publications - Do you have a book or periodical that you use as
> your resource for reliable information about gardening in your
> climate?  Do you wish to review a work or know of a good review?
> Are you aware of government or non-profit booklets on pertinent
> topics for Mediterranean gardeners?  Does you local native plant
> group publish information for gardeners?
