We are currently developing strains of Lycium Barbarum (goji) and Lycium Chinense (wild goji or boxwood) from around the world for commercial and residential usage.
Our current genetic material library includes wild strains as well as heirloom and current farming industry strains of goji. We are in the process of developing and selecting cultivars of several varieties for commercial distribution and development. American Goji is also involved in developing a body of information concerning the use of Goji for various purposes (propagation, germination, cultivation, etc.).
Our goals are to produce and make available a crop for people living in arid or semi-arid areas, which is capable of providing nutrition for livestock or people and which grows with a minimum of inputs including water. Goji plants are capable of surviving in extreme conditions and increase topsoil retention while building bio-matter in the soil by shedding foliage each year (provided freezing winters).
Additionally, we are experimenting with inter-cropping, developing cropping systems for this plant that involve the cooperation of multiple species of plants to maximize production and protection of crop from environmental extremes.
