During August, 2021, Eric Bishop von Wettberg was awarded a subcontract for the New Roots for Restoration Biology Integration Institute (NRR-BII)<\/a>. The aim of this institute is to develop tools and training for students to examine the role of roots in regenerative agriculture and native habitat restoration. At UVM, Wettberg’s activities involve establishing a long-term intercropping trial of kernza, a perennial relative of wheat that can be used for baking and brewing, growing alongside alfalfa or clovers.<\/p>\n

The NRR-BII is a collaboration between nine organizations involving 26 scientists and educators. The goal of the five-year research project is to integrate plant traits, communities, and the soil ecosphere to advance restoration of natural and agricultural ecosystems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
