Previous Episode: A steadfast journo hangs his hat, addressing animal welfare concerns
Manitoba Co-operator reporter Geralyn Wichers cracks open a page from history and speaks with plant breeder Peggy Wagoner, Lee DeHaan of the Land Institute, and Doug Cattani at the University of Manitoba, about early and ongoing efforts of perennial grain development – tracing back to the tragic, Stalin-era Soviet Union period – and the promise of a perennial, dual-purpose grain named kernza that may be more environmentally friendly to grow than some annual grain crops. Hosted by Geralyn Wichers.
