Using gains made in scientific knowledge and ability over the past few decades, Land Institute scientists are breeding the annual crop plants Wheat , Sorghum and Sunflower with wild, perennial relatives. They also are working to Domesticate[[ Productive Perennials, Including The High-protein Illinois [[bundleflower . Since each recombination of traits and selection takes a plant generation, to achieve productive and genetically stable perennial crop plants for use by farmers is expected to take several decades. In addition to promoting a "natural systems agriculture," The Land Institute is an advocate for rural community. It sees the former helping the latter, with less reliance on industrial supplies and more value on farmers knowing fields' individual characteristics. |
