This website allows ‘landowners’ who would like to see their land producing food connect with people who want to garden but don’t have the land. And vice versa!

Badgersett Research Farm: www.badgersett.com
Working to replace the corn and soybean monoculture of their area (Minesotta) with perennial woody crops, mimicking the native savannah ecosystem. Have developed high-yielding, precocious hazel nut and chestnut varieties. Hazel could replace soybeans (including for sustainable diesel fuel), and chestnuts are nutritionally very similar to corn.

The Land Institute: www.landinstitute.org
Based in Kansas. Working on replacing standard Midwestern annuals-in-monoculture agriculture with a system based on the native ecosystem in their area, tall-grass prairie. Developing perennial crops to fill all the ecological niches of tallgrass prairie: warm season grasses, cool season grasses, legumes, plants in the sunflower family. Perennial polyculture.

Pawpaw Foundation: www.pawpaw.kysu.edu
The world’s only full-time breeding project on Asimina triloba, the pawpaw, North America’s largest native tree fruit.
