Intermediate wheatgrass as a dual use crop for grain and grazing
Main Menu
Today’s agricultural and food systems are extractive of environmental, human, and economic resources. Diverse perennial grain systems can catalyze change by promoting a long-term approach to ecological resilience and economic prosperity in food and farming. Our work to scale perennial grains on landscapes and in markets builds upon the foundational work of our breeding, ecology, genetics, and social science. They encourage collaborations and resource-sharing to develop sustainable supply chains, partnerships, and economies. This work ensures that perennial grains are valued holistically for their ecosystem services, economic benefits, and potential to serve as staple food crops.
There are several pathways to get involved with perennial grains and sustainability efforts based on your interests and experience.
Farmers help realize the perennial agriculture vision on landscapes by growing perennial grains to help the planet and its communities.
Ingredient producers, millers, food companies, and distributors play a vital role in moving perennial crops from the farm to the public imagination and kitchen pantries around the world.
Advocacy is the momentum that drives our movement. We welcome all voices to join our collective rallying cry, advancing perennial agriculture and its benefits to people and the planet.
Partners and peers serve a critical role at The Land Institute, strengthening research, advancing innovation, and exchanging knowledge and resources to realize our shared mission.
