Cultura care se plantează o dată și poate fi recoltată ani la rând. Pariul fermierilor pentru vremea extremă
Farmers in the U.S. are exploring perennial grains as a sustainable solution to combat extreme weather and drought. These crops, which do not require annual replanting, could enhance resilience and reduce costs. Research is ongoing to develop perennial versions of common grains like wheat and sorghum, potentially improving soil health and carbon storage. However, challenges remain, including lower yields compared to traditional crops and difficulties in harvesting. As extreme weather impacts agriculture, interest in perennial grains is growing among farmers seeking to secure their livelihoods.
