RELEVANCE AND PROSPECTS OF PERENNIAL WHEAT IN MODERN AGRICULTURE
Keywords:
perennial wheat, Kernza, agroecosystem, sustainable agriculture, climate change, soil fertility.Abstract
This scientific work analyzes the role of perennial wheat in modern agriculture based on an integrated approach. The study highlights the biological properties, agroecological advantages, economic efficiency and strategic importance of perennial wheat in ensuring global food security based on scientific sources. It also analyzes the advantages of perennial crops in the context of climate change, water scarcity and soil degradation, as well as the existing limitations associated with their introduction. The results of the study show that perennial wheat is one of the important innovative solutions in the formation of a sustainable agricultural system.
