Christmas dinners saved by climate change resistant roasties
Date
Wed 18 Dec 24
 

Christmas dinners of the future have been saved by scientists after they created climate-change resistant roast potatoes.

A team from the University of Illinois and University of Essex has developed a heatwave-surviving spud.

With the adapted plant growing 30% more potatoes when under extreme stress in the field – a milestone achievement.

It is hoped this will help families dependent on the staple crop and safeguard its future in a changing world.

The project is a collaboration from the international Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) project, led by the University of Illinois.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
