Our civic science research program engages community members nationwide to grow and study the perennial grain crops we’re working to domesticate. Our research team needs participants from all 48 contiguous US states to help investigate the perenniality of the current perennial wheat line. Interested?

Two parts to this post: First, if you are not familiar with The Land Institute, they are working to rewire our existing industrial agricultural systems with a focus on replacing annual crops with perennial crops. That, of course, does not do their work justice, which is why you have links 😁. 

Second, the program mentioned in this older Instagram post highlights one of many opportunities I am coming across to actively engage in Grain Chain rebuilding. The link they mention does still work, but I am not sure of the status of this exact program. Now is your chance to go find out.
