These are potentially novel crops with a range of environmental and economic benefits. Axfoundation is now collaborating with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in their ground-breaking research at Torsåker Farm, to develop the world's first perennial barley crop – the bulbous barley.
