Cameline

Native to Northern Europe and Central Asia, camelina is a cruciferous plant (Brassicaceae) that has long been cultivated in France. It requires few inputs and is not very demanding. A short-cycle crop, it can be grown as a main crop or as a catch crop. Its strong competitive power means that it has a place in organic rotations.
