📋 Tender Overview
Is There A Perennial Future Of Agriculture?
Exploring The Transition To Perennial Grainsthe Production Of Annual Crops Plays A Crucial Role In Global Food Systems. However, These Crops Can Cause Harm To Agro-Ecological Processes Each Season, Leading To Issues Such As Soil Erosion, Nutrient Loss, And Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Machinery And Soil. Perennial Grains, On The Other Hand, Only Need To Be Planted Once And Can Be Harvested For Many Years, Offering Significant Potential To Positively Impact Agriculture And Rural Communities And To Enhance Climate Change Adaptation. The Erc-Funded Perennial Project Will Explore The Feasibility Of Transitioning From Annual To Perennial Grains. It Will Conduct An In-Depth Analysis Of The Current Political Economy Of Agriculture, Propose Sustainable And Achievable Alternatives To Annual Monocultures, And Develop A Well-Structured Transition Strategy.
