Caption
Native to the eastern U.S., Carolina azolla holds excellent potential for use as a fast-growing, short-season crop that requires minimal inputs, upkeep and processing, according to Penn State researchers. The plant — sometimes referred to as mosquito fern, fairy moss and water fern — could be used to increase the food supply.
