Improving crop production in the arid Mediterranean climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the possibilities of sustainable crop production in the arid Mediterranean region, which is predicted to suffer from increasingly severe droughts in the future due to climate changes, in addition to increased problems with soil salinity and increased temperatures.

Increasing the utilisation of sorghum, millets and pseudocereals: Developments in the science of their phenolic phytochemicals, biofortification and protein functionality
TL;DR: It appears that the storage proteins of these minor grains, including sorghum, millets and pseudocereals, can produce a visco-elastic wheat-like dough and Manipulation of protein β-sheet structure seems critical in this regard.

Conservation agriculture : what is it and why is it important for future sustainable food production?
TL;DR: Conservation agriculture (CA), defined as minimal soil disturbance (no-till) and permanent soil cover (mulch) combined with rotations, is a more sustainable cultivation system for the future than those presently practised as discussed by the authors.
