We are RegenPGC* (“Regenerating America’s Working Landscapes to Enhance Natural Resources and Public Goods through Perennial Groundcover”), a transdisciplinary team of academic and industry scientists and engineers funded by USDA-NIFA.
Our shared vision is to make year-round groundcover on working lands the norm, rather than the exception, for Midwestern US agriculture and beyond.
Central to our approach is developing and de-risking perennial groundcover systems, where a perennial cover crop is planted once and then persists for multiple years alongside annual crops such as corn and soybean.
By providing year-round groundcover, PGC can deliver multiple ecosystem services, including conserving soil resources, reducing nutrient export, enhancing carbon sequestration, and suppressing weeds, thereby reducing herbicide requirements.
Compared to conventional cover cropping, a PGC approach has lower management requirements, which could facilitate the widespread adoption of cover cropping systems critical to achieving measurable differences in large-scale environmental issues.
