 Central Asian Apricots from the Thatcher Research Location Improving Perennial Plants for Food and Bioenergy (IPPFBE) is non-profit (501.c.3) corporation. We believe that there is great unexploited potential to develop perennial crops for the sustainable production of food and bioenergy on marginal cropland, steep or sloping range, or on fragile soils—land that is currently unproductive. We are breeding many different types of trees, shrubs, and grasses in our research locations, selecting for high yield crops that are frost-resistant, drought-tolerant, and disease-resistant.
