The Land Institute is leading a global movement to transform agriculture and secure a sustainable future for all. They develop perennial grain crops and advocate for systems that work with nature to feed humanity and repair our environment, collaborating with farmers, scientists, and with the plants themselves to evolve humanity’s relationship with the earth–from taking to sharing; from depletion to restoration. The Land Institute is a global non-profit organization founded in 1976 in Salina, Kansas, USA.
