The Gulag and The Garden of Eden |
The apple may have originated not in Mesopotamia, but in
Alma Ata, Kazikstan. There Frank Browning discovers that one of
the world's oldest apple breeding programs is still on-going.
Frank tells us about current efforts to hybridize better apples,
and the place the program has in the global picture.
The Gulag and the Garden of Eden was produced by Frank Browning for National Public Radio.
