Quinoa Seen as Salt-Tolerant Crop to Future-Proof Farming
Original: Quinoa: The Salt-Loving Super Grain That Could Future-Proof Farming
Quinoa is being highlighted as a hardy, salt-tolerant grain that could help agriculture adapt to degrading soils and water scarcity. The crop's ability to thrive in saline conditions where staple grains fail is drawing attention as climate pressures and soil salinisation threaten global food production, prompting renewed interest in expanding quinoa cultivation worldwide.
Why now: Growing concern over climate change and soil salinisation is driving interest in resilient crops that can secure future food supplies.
