Jabal: the new wheat scientists say can withstand extreme heat and drought — "The variety is a cross between commercial and wild wheats – bred in a bid to develop crops that are more resilient to the climate crisis" 🍞

"A new drought-tolerant variety of durum wheat has been created as part of an international breeding programme to boost climate resilience in the food system by increasing crop diversity."

"While it is not yet commercially available, farmers in Morocco will be the first to start growing the new version of durum wheat, which is widely eaten in north Africa and the Middle East, in about three years. Morocco is suffering its worst drought in four decades, and grain production is down by about 70% due to the extremely dry conditions."
