Miracle crop for a future of extreme heat: BUCKWHEAT

– Productive in high-heat, drought, high-CO2 conditions that kill wheat;
– Gluten free, rich in fibre and minerals;
– Flowers for months: great for and other insects.
– Likes poor soils
– Needs no fertilisers

What's not to love about buckwheat? Also, tastes great.

CelloDad, who is gluten sensitive, loves my bread. And at least one kid - who is not gluten free - prefers that over the luxury ciabatta.

Bonus: no gluten means no kneading! You just throw all the ingredients into a bowl, mix it well, and put it into a breadpan. I don't even bother waiting for the yeast to rise.

Kasha is good too: you can make it sweet or savoury. Same with galettes bretonnes, nomnom.

Plus, climate-change resistant!
