The Worlds First Perennial Grain Crop

I came across this just now. So i havent dug in further but is this something you have heard of!? As someone who passionate about increasing the amount of foods we can eat that are perennial this seems like a big deal to me. Of course preserving old rare strains and diversification of our global and local food systems is so important. That Doesn’t mean there isn’t room for new crops.

I was curious what yall’s thoughts were.
