Hannah Rodgers

Living in Laramie, Wyoming, Hannah Rogers works with farmers and ranchers to build sustainable, resilient agroecosystems in drought-prone landscapes. She became interested in perennials after learning more about soil health and carbon sequestration in soils at Oberlin College. Hannah currently works with farmers who are struggling to find regenerative, profitable options to build soil health and resilience to drought in harsh environments, and Kernza perennial grain is one potential solution. Hannah was an intern at The Land Institute who got to learn about the soil microbial world and the importance of deep roots, working with the soil ecology team. In her free time, Hannah likes to hike and canoe, and teaches ceramics at a community clay studio.

My most perennial trait is Connecting Art  – I try to connect art to my work and my work to art whenever I can.
