Wheat

Triticum aestivum

The flagship crops include the major European and global staple food crop, wheat (Triticum aestivum). Wheat covers more land surface than any other food crop globally and is the leading source of plant protein in the human diet. It is the most important staple food crop in Europe. Still, much of its cropping area is expected to be affected by climate change in the next decades, emphasizing the need for increased climate resilience.
