Future of Food: Is Kernza a Viable Wheat Replacement?

- Grain Revolution: Most of the food crops we eat are "annuals," plants that need to be replanted every year, which has a host of environmental consequences. But scientists in the US are developing a new perennial grain called "Kernza". Is this the future of food?

PBS Newshour Weekend - Ref. 7728
Considering wheat has had 10,000 years of selection and they've had 30 years on this kernza, seems like an interesting development. I don't think it'll replace wheat, but it may make a good additive in crop rotation if the market and the yield variability gets developed more. I am curious what the disease tolerance has been like on it.
You do NOT rotate perennials. That's the whole point. It grows back every year without having to be planted.
That's amazing!. Will it taste like rice? I'm curious...
Wow I just Supported your amazing channel!!!
And
I finally hit 1k Supported!!!
How about those Rhizomes?!
Good Chanel
Tastes just like chicken mama said....... sorry I'm a drug addict and was dropped as a baby. (Both sadly true lol)

Nothing like moving up one more level in Genetically Modifying our food...
You are totally WRONG. Perennial wheat is a HYBRID and NOT genetically modified. The point of perennial wheat is that it grows back every year with no need for ploughing and planting. That prevents soil erosion, which has eventually turned every fertile cropland into a desert since agriculture was invented. I don't suppose you know any history, but then arrogant, ignorant idiots like you never bother to learn anything.
