Title: What would be the advantages/disadvantages of perennial crops?
Post by: Semaphore on 16/08/2016 21:34:58

You don't dig up your lawn and replant it every year, do you?

Perennial crops would have lower yields but would be less labour-intensive, would reduce soil erosion, and have deeper root systems which would capture more carbon.
