Community Services/Non-Profits
Hours: The Land Institute is a non-profit research organization working to develop perennial grains and diverse crop systems that mimic natural ecosystems. Its work focuses on creating a regenerative agriculture that produces ample food while reducing negative environmental impacts. The organization leads a global movement for this perennial, diverse agriculture. Visitors describe a great experience learning how nature interacts with conserving land and preserving water systems. The institute is appreciated as a place for studying perennial plant life and ecological systems. Some note the critical importance of grasslands, describing them as vital solar panels for the planet that capture carbon and produce oxygen. The annual Prairie Festival event is also highlighted as a fun and enjoyable experience. The institute's goal is to shift from annual to perennial crops, investing in plants that think ahead for long-term ecological health. Its research promotes an agriculture system that works with natural cycles to support clean air and water.
