energy difference of annuals versus perennials why human
I believe their exists a very important difference in energy between annuals
and perennials. And although it would seem that civilization on Earth and throughout the Cosmos should be based upon *perennial staples*. That is not the likely scienctific answer. I suspect that the energy it takes for Intelligent-life to do a yearly farming of annuals to have a staple crop is a larger energy output than if staple crops were based on *perennial staples*. If intelligent life on Earth had to be based on perennials, I believe the energy equations are less favorable for perennials than if based on annuals. Yes we have to collect seed and till and weed which costs us energy every year, but perennials are not **sure bets** and are less likely to constantly keep us fed than annuals. Perennials require less input energy, but their dependability of a yearly crop is lower than the dependability of annual crops. So, in the energy-equation of staple food crops, it is annuals that win out over perennials. And if we are ever contacted by alien civilizations, they also will have annuals as staples and not perennials. Now the big chore of figuring out the Energy Equation. Has any scientist before me done this Energy Equation that shows (I intuit) that staple crops are at maximum annuals and not perennials.
