🌾Unlocking the Future of Food Security: Ancient Wheat's Role in Climate Resilience🌍 New research from #CIMMYT reveals that ancient wild relatives of 3wheat may hold the key to climate-proofing our global #foodsupply. These resilient plants, having thrived through millennia of climate changes, offer essential genetic traits to adapt wheat to today's growing environmental challenges. As wheat provides 20% of the world's calories and protein, this breakthrough could secure food for 1.5 billion people in the #GlobalSouth. By harnessing this untapped genetic diversity, we can create more robust, climate-resilient wheat varieties, ensuring a sustainable future.
