Unsere Nutzpflanzen: sie sind leise, sie sind grün, sie wachsen auf dem Acker, in unserem Garten und an den unterschiedlichsten anderen Orten. Sie werden gegessen und dienen als Rohstoff für verschiedene Produkte. Ganz nebenbei, ohne Pflanzen könnten wir nicht existieren, da sie nicht nur für unsere Nahrung, sondern auch für Sauerstoff sorgen. Sie besitzen die interessantesten Strategien, um für ihre Nachkommenschaft zu sorgen, sich gegen Angreifer zu wehren, unliebsame Konkurrenten auszuschalten oder notwendige Nährstoffe zu ergattern und bilden mehr als 100.000 verschiedene Inhaltsstoffe. Wo kommen sie her, wie lange werden sie bereits genutzt, wie werden sie angebaut, welche Probleme gibt es dabei und wie können diese gelöst werden? Manche von ihnen haben Geschichte geschrieben und die Politik beeinflusst. Wer sich für die Geschichten hinter unseren Nutzpflanzen interessiert, ist bei unserem KOMM INS BEET Podcast genau richtig!
