A hundred years ago, Iowa was part of one of the largest ecosystems in the world, a contiguous prairie that spanned from Canada to Texas and Illinois to Nebraska. Iowa’s prairie once hosted a diversity of life on par with a rainforest. Today, only one-tenth of one percent of the original prairie remains.

Jackson chose to leave academia, returning to his native Kansas, where he founded a non-profit organization, The Land Institute, in 1976. With this vehicle he worked till recently on development of perennial grains, pulses, and oilseed-bearing plants to be grown in ecologically intensified, diverse crop mixtures under its Natural Systems Agriculture program. In tandem with these sustainable agriculture efforts, the Ecosphere Studies program seeks to change the way people think about the world and their place in it, through educational and cultural projects with a perennial perspective.

Jackson decidió abandonar el mundo académico para regresar a su natal Kansas, donde fundó una organización sin fines de lucro, The Land Institute, en 1976. Con este vehículo trabajó hasta hace poco en el desarrollo de cereales perennes, legumbres y plantas oleaginosas para su cultivo en mezclas de cultivos ecológicamente intensificadas y diversas, en el marco de su programa de Agricultura de Sistemas Naturales. Junto con estos esfuerzos de agricultura sostenible, el programa de Estudios de la Ecosfera busca cambiar la forma en que nosotros humanos pensamos sobre el mundo y nuestro lugar en él, a través de proyectos educativos y culturales con una perspectiva perenne.
