Spencer Barriball is from Pensacola, Florida, USA, and has a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from the University of Minnesota and a Master’s in Agronomy from Iowa State University. He has been breeding plants since 2013 and enjoys the challenge of domesticating new perennial grains from wild and forage plants to food crops. At The Land Institute, Spencer focuses on breeding perennial legumes, exploring their potential as new grains and as a source of sustainable protein for people.
My most perennial trait: Perpetuality – the seasonal nature of perennial grain breeding requires continually returning to the plants year after year.
