Meet Farina Rossa, the Pop-Up From a Sourdough Pizza-Tossing Travail Alum | Eater Twin Cities

"Developed and trademarked by the Land Institute, Kernza is a perennial wheat grain with a deep root structure that doesn’t need annual replanting; I note the institute’s role because Kernza is presented as a potential climate boon that can help store carbon and reduce soil erosion, and it’s the specific grain Bang Brewing and chef Lynch are incorporating into beer and dough." - Justine Jones

I took a tour of The Land Institute as part of a class at my local community college. It's truly amazing what they're working on here. Employees are also very knowledgeable and friendly. Great experience.

Grass Rules Everything Around Me. Our sun emmits peak wavelength of 555nm green more than any other wavelength which is to say we have a green sun. We evolved to see more green with green sensors in our eyes, then red and blue because there’s so much green energy from our sun. It’s why green is in the middle royGbiv is in the base around which we got from god the rainbow sign. Because green is our home for visual perception. Which is why I suppose grass looks at green photon wavelength it and says nah I think we’re good on the green thank you and bounces it back. Reflecting back on my studies in savannah ecology i am blessed to have the Land Institute. An investment in grass is an investment in appreciating annual plant life cycle vs perrenial. ecological stressors shape the DNA and crashes are greedy and hungry and fast live fast die hard plant intelligences. It’s the perennials that think ahead. what is it 80% of our diet is grass. And you are what you eat. So 90% of what Americans think is influenced by the fact that they are mostly corn. I prefer acorns myself. More of a gatherer than a hunter or husband. Grasslands are giant solar panels that pollute the air with oxygen and clean clear water vapor as waste. Grasslands are solar panels for vast stretches of our planet that have the option to either go desert dry death and fire or grassland and fire and life and carbon captured. Grass has evolved during period of global warming and will continue to become more relevant as we go through hours right now

The people here are amazingly kind, and the work they are doing is very important. I dropped by without any kind of appointment and they took me on a tour and answered all of my questions for over an hour. Highly recommend.

Every year at the end of September the Land Institute holds a prairie festival celebrating the land and the people of the prairie. It's like a Chatauqua with excellent speakers, tours of the research they are doing and music! This year they had breakfast Saturday morning of pancakes made from Kernza grain. Kernza is a perennial crop that is far more sustainable to farm.
