Scientific Innovations in Wheat Cultivation Amid Climate Challenges in Greece
The impact of climate change on agriculture is considerable, prompting initiatives in the Evros region of Greece. Journalist Maria Manaka highlights the efforts of students at Democritus University working on developing new wheat varieties resilient to unpredictable weather. Under the guidance of Professor Spiros Koutroumpas, the students conduct experiments to improve cultivation techniques while reducing chemical input. The local grain cooperative is also investing in this research, with hopes to enhance production and sustainability in the region’s agricultural practices.
