Poor soils can cut crop yields by up to 50 percent—which, if we’re not careful, could result in more soil being tilled to grow more crops, which degrades more soil, which pushes us closer to climate catastrophe. So they’re working to highlight how perennial grains can help rebuild soils. And they’re pushing innovation.
