ABOUT THE LAND INSTITUTE: The future is perennial. ~ The Land Institute is leading a global movement to transform agriculture and secure a sustainable future for all. We’re cultivating a perennial revolution—one seed, one field, one relationship, one story at a time.

Why perennial? How the future takes root. ~ Transitioning from an annual to a perennial agricultural model is the best chance we have to create a truly regenerative future. Perennial crops—like grains, legumes and oilseeds—have extensive root systems that capture and store carbon dioxide, helping mitigate climate change. They require less fossil fuel and fewer chemical inputs. They can repair soil and restore waterways, all while producing abundant food for our hungry world. It all adds up to a healthier, more resilient system for people and planet.
