隨著地球持續變暖，農民們正在使用更多具破壞力的農耕開採技術，但這加劇了氣候變化的影響。然而，一些農民和科學家正在回顧過去，尋找替代解決方案。像高粱、小米和本土稻米等古老穀物已被種植了幾個世紀，並具有自然的基因組使它們對氣候變化更具韌性。雖然這些本土作物的產量可能比基因改造的作物低，但它們不需要對土壤有害的化肥，以及對水資源的需求也較低。農民會轉向耕作古老的穀物嗎？消費者能接受這些作物嗎？

As the planet continues to warm, farmers are using more extractive and damaging farming techniques which exacerbate the effects of climate change. But some farmers and scientists are peering back in time to discover alternative solutions. Ancient grains like sorghum, millet and indigenous rice have been planted for centuries and contain a
natural genetic makeup that makes them more resilient to changes in our climate. While these indigenous crops might produce lower yields than genetically modified crops, they don’t require harmful fertilizers that damage soils; they are also less demanding on our water resources. Will farmers make the switch to ancient grains and will consumers be able to accept them?
