According to data from the International Consultative Group for Agricultural Research, the future “gold” will be wheat. Aware of this in developing countries, they have undertaken the production of a plant dedicated to fighting diseases and parasite attacks on wheat cultivation.

And you can see your results: In 1994, 217 tons were collected in Asia, eight thousand tons more than what Canada, Mexico, Europe and the US collected in the same period. It is cheap, grows fast and does not add large additional costs to production. This is the gift of wheat.
