Success Stories - Root cause: making crop plants better at sourcing water and nutrients (via Research & Innovation)

That is the theory underlying an EU-supported research project at the University of Nottingham in England. Researchers there have been growing wheat and other crop plants in soils with different nutrients and water contents.
