The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville received a $180,000 three-year Project Grant award from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI, CFDA #10.310). The university will develop multi-scale, pixel-based biophysical suitability maps for corn and soybean crops using machine learning models trained on yield data from over 60 U.S. farms. The models will predict relative yield based on climate, soil, and elevation data and be used to assess suitability under future climate change scenarios over the next three decades. Dynamic suitability maps generated from this research will be made available through cloud-based applications to support agricultural producer planning and research efforts. The grant aims to address the challenge of sustainable intensification of staple crop production in the face of climate change through innovative data-driven agricultural technologies. No sub-awardees were specified.
