Could 'salt potatoes' create a food revolution?

5 January 2015 Last updated at 19:21 GMT

A team of researchers in the Netherlands has discovered that potatoes can grow in earth fed by salty sea water.

The development could spark a revolution in the way food is produced in land previously considered unsuitable for agriculture.

Anna Holligan reports from the Dutch island of Texel.

I wonder if it is stock that they modified, or if it's a whole new breed of potato, they really don't mention, and why would it be so much more expensive?
