A study in the journal Nature Sustainability reports that a new high-yielding, long-lived perennial rice with significant environmental, economic, and social sustainability impacts is now being grown in Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.

Key Points: 
  • A study in the journal Nature Sustainability reports that a new high-yielding, long-lived perennial rice with significant environmental, economic, and social sustainability impacts is now being grown in Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.
  • Researchers in China's Yunnan Province developed perennial rice in a relatively short two-decade timeframe, achieving comparable yields to annual rice varieties.
  • They were supported with scientific expertise and seed funding from Kansas-based nonprofit The Land Institute and a global network of researchers.
  • "Besides perennial rice, our work on wide hybrid crosses of annual wheat and sorghum with their perennial relatives show promise.
