Seeds of Climate Change
CUCURBITA MOSCHATA
Moscata di Provenza is a versatile and delicious variety of squash. Originating from Provence, France, its cultivation generally requires less water compared to most other squash types. This does not mean it can thrive in extreme arid conditions, but it is generally more resilient than other pumpkin varieties which tend to require a more consistent water supply. This ability to perform well with reduced frequency of irrigation allows greatly for sustainable practices, especially in areas faced with water shortages.
