Is the concept of increasing the use of perrenials in agriculture - TopicsExpress



          

Is the concept of increasing the use of perrenials in agriculture viable or useful? It seems like if it was, everyone would be doing it already because it would make life a lot easier for farmers. >>But the idea is to reverse the ratio between annual and perennial plants. We now have 20 percent perennial and 80 percent annual, and the proposal is in 50 years to reverse that to 80 percent perennial and 20 percent annual. This involves diminishing the amount of erosion, the toxicity of these fields, and the ongoing destruction of rural communities.
