"A new study that compared wheat & buckwheat success rates in a high #CO2 atmosphere, plus the temperatures & drought conditions that we can expect in the coming decades, found buckwheat survived & produced its crop of seeds in conditions that killed wheat or severely curtailed grain production.

One plus for farmers is it likes poor soils so no expensive fertilizers are needed." [and it improves the #soil]
