New perennial wheat research from collaborators in Italy! 🇮🇹

More than 20 years ago, The Land Institute launched the perennial wheat program to develop a grain crop that could feed people, sustain farmers, and deliver the perennial persistence and ecological benefits of the native prairie. Read the full story: bit.ly/43vJuyR

WHAT THE ALE? 🍺 Cabin Boys Brewery recently brewed a special beer made — in part — with Kernza. What is Kernza? ♻️ It is a perennial grain being grown as a substitute for annual wheat. The name of the beer is Deep Roots Kernza Hoppy Ale. Learn more at tulsapeople.com/about-town/wha…

Perennial wheat lines with stronger perenniality and improved grain yields are being evaluated by partners across the globe. Learn how our collaborative network is working to develop deeply rooted perennial grains to sustain soils and communities: bit.ly/43vJuyR

Perennial wheat lines like the recent cross between annual wheat and sea wheatgrass, which has now thrived for three years in Australia, move us closer to a crop with robust perenniality. Discover what led to this moment & where perennial wheat is headed: bit.ly/43vJuyR

It’s harvest season in Kansas. While much of the state’s 300 million bushels of wheat are already in, another grain — Kernza — is quietly being harvested in select areas where it’s taken root. kmuw.org/podcast/flyove…

As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2026, we are taking stock of what has grown from decades of research, collaboration, and commitment into a perennial future. Read the 2025 President's Letter to learn more and join this movement today: bit.ly/4oTNoKx

Progress with Kernza® perennial grain and perennial rice shows that perennial grains can be bred, grown, & eaten to sequester carbon, support biodiversity, & protect clean water. Learn more about our 5 decades of progress and our vision for 2075: bit.ly/4oTNoKx

As erratic weather patterns challenge food production and community livelihoods, perennial grains can offer resilience for farmers as climate instability threatens yields and resource availability. Learn how Kernza® provides adaptation for dryland farming: bit.ly/4pDwW1t

By collaborating with nature instead of working against it, we can develop perennial grains like Kernza® and Baki™ bean to regenerate soils, improve water retention & enhance life above & below ground, balancing food needs with long-term planetary health. bit.ly/3EIKEgy

What if farming could rebuild and improve soil health rather than degrade it? Perennial grain crops grown in diverse mixtures can ensure that soil stores carbon while supporting abundant food and economic growth for farmers and communities. 🌱Learn more: bit.ly/3Zs2z35
