Thread: How we can make crops survive without water ?

As our world population grows and the effects of climate change come into knife-edged relief, we'll have to feed more people using less land space.
Molecular biologist Jill Farrant studies a rare Phenomenon that may help:"resurrection plants"-super resilient plants that seemingly come back from the death.

Here in this video Jill Farrant explain about her study




Could this method hold Promise for growing food in our coming hotter, drier world?
