Just finished up a busy week at this year's #APFSD, #UN Conference Centre in #BKK! We felt privileged to get visits to our exhibit booth from major govt. heads, policy strategists, and various university researchers, and NGOs including, the agriculture minister for the nation of #Fiji (image below), the Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development (#Vietnam), #JamesCook University, and the North East Slow Food & Agrobiodiversity Society (image below) to name a few.

Zahlen, bitte! Per Geheimorder 40° Süd - Wie James Cook zu neuen Ufern segelte

Kapitän James Cook inspirierte mit seinen Expeditionen viele Abenteurer bis hin zum Erfinder von Star Trek. Nur eines fand er nicht: die gesuchte Antarktis.

#TombTuesday I haven't got a photo of the tombstone. We travelled to London (from New Zealand) for my son's marriage some years back. The beautiful stone church they married in happened to be nextdoor to their flat. I walked around it the day before and came across some tombes. One struck me. The person had died in 1769. James Cook found NZ the same year. We are such a young country and England is so old.

I've always loved this cartoon.
