<\/a> Samples from the 1700s could reveal more resilient varieties of wheat: <\/strong>Scientists are analyzing 12k specimens of centuries-old wheat collections from Britain\u2019s Natural History Museum and more from the John Innes Center in Norwich to understand their genetic makeup, the BBC<\/a> reports. The John Innes team is cross-breeding older varieties with modern ones to engineer more resilient and nutritious wheat varieties.<\/p>\n

Why is this important?<\/strong> Scientists calculate that a 1\u00b0C rise in temperatures could cause a 6.4% drop in the amount of wheat grown around the world, the BBC says. The world will need more wheat as the population grows \u2014 an estimated 60% more by 2050 \u2014 so finding wheat varieties able to survive in hot and dry climates like the GCC and MENA will help increase food supply, the outlet reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
