marginal-lands
Marginal lands are areas considered economically unproductive for conventional agriculture due to poor soil quality, water stress, or other limiting conditions. In plant science, these environments are of growing interest because they represent a vast, underutilized resource where stress-tolerant crops could be cultivated without competing with food production on prime farmland. Researchers study how certain plants adapt to and thrive in marginal conditions, informing breeding programs and sustainable land-use strategies aimed at expanding biomass and bioenergy production.
