Horticulture in perennial systems offers a sustainable approach to increasing nutrient density in vegetables through deep-rooted, regenerative practices. Perennial vegetable systems outshine annuals thanks to their deep root networks, which tap into nutrients beyond the reach of shallow-rooted crops. These established roots enhance soil structure, boost fertility, curb erosion, and yield nutrient-rich harvests season after […]
History From the early Neolithic period, cicerchia originated in the Balkan Peninsula. The first domesticated crop in Europe is thought to have been this plant around 6000 BCE. A wide range of areas, including the Mediterranean region, southwestern and central Europe, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan, are now cultivated and naturalized with cicerchia. Economically, […]

While the green revolution was successful in feeding the world’s rapidly growing population, it also depleted the soil, reduced biodiversity, and hastened climate change. We cannot sustain our present extraction-based agricultural practices, so we must transform agriculture by implementing a suite of regenerative practices. Regenerative agriculture aims […]
