French farmers trial African sorghum as heat-resistant maize alternative

Severe summer heatwaves and drought have damaged French maize crops, with nearly half of this year's harvest deemed unusable. In response, some cereal farmers are experimenting with sorghum, a drought-tolerant crop from sub-Saharan Africa, though commercial viability remains distant. This marks an adaptation to climate change in European agriculture, with implications for crop patterns and food supply.
