Heritage Grain Conservancy

Heritage Grain Conservancy is an organization focused on preserving traditional, locally-adapted grain varieties that are at risk of being lost. These grains often have unique flavors, nutritional qualities, and resilience to environmental stresses. By conserving and promoting their use, the conservancy helps maintain agricultural biodiversity, supports sustainable farming practices, and ensures future food security. Their efforts include collecting, growing, and sharing these grains, as well as educating farmers and consumers about their value and importance. This work helps maintain a diverse and resilient food system rooted in cultural heritage.
