The start of the year has been busy for GLBW! We’ve presented at, attended and sponsored 9 conferences and workshops; launched several new projects through Builders Vision and other funding; and we’re actively envisioning with partners our next collaborations focused on perennial agriculture. Even as we move full speed ahead on this work, we want to take a moment to highlight our 2025 projects and successes.

Landscape Scale Change – A Networked Approach
Green Lands Blue Waters and partners are conducting essential research, improving the genetics of old and new crops, translating knowledge into Continuous Living Cover farming systems, developing new extension and outreach capacity, working in farm fields, shaping policy, building profitable markets for new crops, and changing the narrative around what’s possible through agriculture. The value of Continuous Living Cover farming comes in yields and profits, but also in improved soil health, cleaner water, new economic opportunities, more wildlife, reduced risk, and resiliency in the face of a changing climate.
Farming with Continuous Living Cover is about meeting the multiple challenges of agricultural production and environmental quality.
The year-round ground cover and long-lived roots of the crops we promote help to build soil health, recycle nutrients, provide system-wide resilience in the face of a changing climate, sequester carbon, and reduce agricultural pollution of surface and ground water – while continuing to produce food and other farm products.
