Rice

I read an article in the news today about how scientists supposedly developed a new strain of "flood proof" rice. They went on to say that considering how much of the world depends on rice, this flood proof rice would help keep a consistent supply available. So now when places like Bangledesh and India get flooded out by typhoons, people are less likely to end up starving due to all of their rice being drowned.

Anyways...seemed pretty cool I guess.
