This Cooperative Agreement award of $1,249,631.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of a multi-output machine learning modeling framework for a hybridized perennial cover crop system. The project aims to mitigate climate change by removing barriers for farmers to adopt permanent cover crops, which can increase soil carbon sequestration and make the food supply chain more resilient. Key innovations include a novel permanent cover crop cultivar and a novel low-cost measurement technology that can quantify changes in agricultural field parameters like soil organic carbon, nitrous oxide emissions, plant water stress, and plant nutrient stress. The project will collect and analyze thousands of observations in permanent crop fields in California to accurately calibrate the modeling platform, and develop an end-user software application to translate the model predictions into actionable insights for farmers and carbon credit buyers. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific research and innovation addressing national, societal, and geostrategic challenges.
