随着地球持续变暖，农民们正在使用更多具破坏力的农耕开采技术，但这加剧了气候变化的影响。然而，一些农民和科学家正在回顾过去，寻找替代解决方案。像高粱、小米和本土稻米等古老谷物已被种植了几个世纪，并具有自然的基因组使它们对气候变化更具韧性。虽然这些本土作物的产量可能比基因改造的作物低，但它们不需要对土壤有害的化肥，以及对水资源的需求也较低。农民会转向耕作古老的谷物吗？消费者能接受这些作物吗？

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?
