History of barley

L’orge : la super-céréale qui sauve aussi la planète

At Barley for Health, we believe that good nutrition goes hand in hand with sustainability. Barley is not only a powerhouse of nutrition but also one of the most environmentally friendly grains cultivated today. Its ability to thrive in diverse climates with minimal resources makes it a key player in the future of sustainable agriculture.

Pourquoi l’orge est un choix durable ?

Unlike many staple crops, barley requires fewer resources to grow while offering numerous environmental benefits:

Faible consommation d’eau – Utilise beaucoup moins d’irrigation que le blé, le riz et le maïs.
Santé et régénération des sols – Empêche l’érosion des sols et contribue à de meilleures pratiques de rotation des cultures.
Réduction de l’empreinte carbone – Nécessite moins d’engrais et s’adapte bien à l’agriculture à faibles intrants.
Protection de la biodiversité – Soutient l’agriculture biologique et fournit un habitat aux insectes utiles.

By choosing barley-based foods, you’re not just making a healthy choice for yourself—you’re also supporting a more sustainable future for our planet.

Le rôle de l’orge dans une agriculture résiliente au climat

Alors que l’agriculture mondiale est confrontée aux défis du changement climatique, l’orge se distingue par sa résilience :
Tolérance à la sécheresse – Pousse dans les régions à faibles précipitations, réduisant la pression sur les ressources en eau.
Adaptation au froid – Prospère dans des climats divers, des hautes altitudes aux terres arides.
Réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre – Nécessite moins d’engrais azotés, réduisant ainsi les émissions de CO₂.

With sustainable farming practices becoming more critical, barley’s role in food security and environmental protection has never been more important.
