      Hello 🙂
      I work in agricultural research. My job is to help wheat plants stay healthy by understanding how they fight off harmful fungi that can make them sick. This is important because we need healthy wheat to make bread (pizza, cake, etc.) and food for everyone.

      How It Helps the Environment: By making wheat stronger against diseases, we can grow more food without using too many chemicals. This helps keep our air and water clean. Plus, it helps us prepare for changes in the weather due to climate change, so we can keep growing food even when things get tough!
