Press release Could Perennial Grain Crops be the Future of Sustainable Food Production? Annual grain crops currently provide 70% of humanity’s food energy needs. However, there is growing concern about the sustainability of such systems, in terms of their impacts on nutrient cycling, soil conservation and water management, and their excessive use of irreplaceable fossil fuels. Some scientists are now suggesting that perennial grain crops could be an answer to this problem. These issues are discussed in the March issue of the journal Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems, which is solely devoted to discussing the potential of perennial grain crops.
