Did Secretary Vilsack mean crop diversity, by any chance? You know, as in genebanks, among other things. His remarks do not seem to be online yet. Were any of our readers there?
I wasn’t there, but I have heard him speak about “diversity” several times before and he usually brings diversity up in the context of types (organic, conventional, biotech) and scales of farming systems. I’ve also heard him bring it up in terms of racial and gender diversity in farming.
