About Kernza®
Kernza is the first perennial grain crop in the world and has many positive benefits for water quality, carbon storage, and improved habitats—plus it tastes good too!
These root systems protect delicate soil from erosion, absorb excessive and harmful nutrients, and retain water. Once established, Kernza® and other continuous living cover crops greatly improve our land and water. Environmental impacts include:
Better water quality.
Increased carbon sequestration (a powerful tool in the fight against climate change).
Improved wildlife habitat, especially for native birds and pollinators.
Alternative pest control that reduces farmer dependence on toxic herbicides and pesticides.
