Aubrey Streit Krug

Aubrey Streit Krug grew up in rural Kansas, where her parents farm wheat and raise cattle, and her curiosity about prairie stories and plants led her to earn a PhD in English and Great Plains Studies. Aubrey is drawn to the possibility of more just human communities grounded in place and nourished by diverse, perennial food systems. At The Land Institute, Aubrey creates and investigates ways for people to step toward that long-term vision, together. Her favorite workdays feature learning, writing, and collaborating—especially on walk and talk meetings, with colleagues from near and far, up and down rocky prairie hillsides.

My most perennial trait: Care—I feel life deeply and try to show up practically.
