This $649,827 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture will fund research on indirect nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural drainage water, streams, and wetlands in Iowa watersheds. The awardee, Iowa State University, will rigorously measure nitrous oxide from corn and soybean agricultural systems in the Midwestern US Corn Belt. Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas and largest climate change contributor from Corn Belt...
This federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $850,000 to Cornell University to conduct research on how plant facilitation of rhizosphere microbes promotes plant nutrient acquisition from soil organic matter. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate plant capacity to promote proliferation and induction of phenolic acid bacteria, 2) determine the distribution of...
The University of Nebraska will receive $749,861 under a four-year Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture to study nitrogen movement and transformations in the vadose zone beneath agricultural lands. Funded through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program, the University will measure occurrences of inorganic and organic nitrogen species below irrigated and dryland cornfields using deep coring....
This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program Grant, valued at $879,831 and awarded on August 1, 2024, supports research to investigate organic and inorganic carbon cycling in a grassland agroecosystem of the Southern Great Plains. The project aims to unravel the roles of climate and land management in controlling deviations between soil CO2 efflux and respiration rates, which are key indicators of soil health. The project...
This $9,985,000 federal Project Grant award, provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to increase adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices (CSAP) in the Midwestern Corn Belt region. The project will develop an integrated policy and decision support system to quantify the economic and environmental outcomes of CSAP adoption, including educational and extension resources such as...
This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $649,966.00 to the University of Illinois to investigate the scientific, legal, and social implications of emerging carbon markets that incentivize climate-smart agricultural practices by farmers. The project aims to identify stakeholder concerns, develop policy recommendations and best...
This $649,040 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research at Iowa State University from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant will support Iowa State University researchers' goals of identifying the causes of reduced corn yield associated with cereal rye cover crop biomass, and establishing an experiment to examine corn and cereal rye biomass...
This $179,640 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) project grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, aims to improve understanding of nitrogen pollution in agricultural watersheds and develop better methods for managing and reducing this pollution. The project uses a combination of field experiments, sensor technology, and computer-based mapping tools to study the causes of post-storm nitrate enrichment - elevated nitrate levels in streams after storms....
This project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $649,697 to develop an integrated assessment model called Hydroecon to measure the social costs of nutrient pollution across the United States through 2026.
