Overview

Perennial agriculture refers to the cultivation of perennial plant species that live longer than two years without the need for replanting each year. This approach offers numerous benefits, including decreased soil erosion and increased soil health. Perennial crops, such as fruit and nut trees, herbs, and vegetables, can make a significant contribution to sustainable agriculture practices. By adopting perennial agriculture practices, farmers can reduce their environmental footprint, promote biodiversity, and improve crop resilience. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has launched initiatives to promote perennial agriculture, and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has provided funding for projects that promote perennial agriculture in developing countries.
