Earth’s climate swings increasingly out of balance
The Earth’s climate is more out of balance than at any time in observed history, as greenhouse gas concentrations drive continued warming of the atmosphere and ocean and melting of ice, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These rapid and large-scale changes have occurred within a few decades but will have harmful repercussions for hundreds – and potentially thousands – of years.

Perennial Foods
Perennial foods produce recurring harvests year after year from a single planting, eliminating the annual cycle of tillage and replanting required by conventional crops. These species establish permanent root systems that access deep nutrients, improve soil over time, and require minimal labor once established. Many produce yields comparable to annual crops without replanting or intensive management. This collection documents edible perennials representing agricultural approaches based on ecosystem stability rather than intensive annual inputs.
