Positive News reports that Spanish artist Almudena Romero is collaborating with INRAE on a project that turns a wheat field into an image that emerges as the crop grows. Each plant functions like a "pixel," with subtle pigment differences creating a large-scale picture.
After the image fully emerges, the wheat will be harvested, milled, and distributed locally as flour — blending art, ecology, and community in one living work.
