PAI is happy to announce our latest publication, a collaboration with six farms, gardens, and educational projects in Denmark, Sweden, and the US. We tested the nutrition of 14 species of cold-climate perennial vegetables, with a focus on species for which only incomplete data were available, or no data at all. This effort builds on PAI’s 2020 paper “Perennial vegetables: A neglected resource for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and nutrition”. Thanks to our crowdsourced backers on experiment.com who funded our research.
