New Perennials

New Perennials links education, research and analysis on agricultural transformation and climate justice with community initiatives that work to grow, shape, and share perennial thought and action. Agriculture’s 10,000 year history has generated ecologically unsustainable practice and culturally corrosive hierarchies that must change.  

New Perennials draws inspiration for radical change from the work of The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas, to develop perennial grain crops and polyculture farming solutions. Since 2018, Middlebury College and The Land Institute serve as educational and research hubs for the project. To learn more visit https://www.landinstitute.org or https://www.newperennials.org.
