This Project Grant award, valued at $650,000 and awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to empirically assess the importance and sustainability of adaptive irrigation under climate change. The three key objectives are: 1) estimating the link between extreme heat and adaptive irrigation, 2) predicting groundwater stock dynamics under climate change, and 3) analyzing...
This $650,000 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to develop a publicly accessible toolkit for climate impact assessments on agriculture. The key products and services to be delivered include: Evaluating the bias of current methods for modeling climate change impacts, 2) Proposing robust and data-driven estimators to model heterogeneity in climate damage functions, 3)...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The three-year grant project, running from January 2022 through December 2025, will assess the impacts of climate change-induced water scarcity on California's irrigated agricultural sector and evaluate the effectiveness of various on-farm, public, and political...
This five-year, $1.5 million Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) supports Montana State University in collaborating with Climate Hub staff and regional stakeholders to develop improved educational materials and expertise to help farmers and ranchers in the Southwest and Northern Plains assess sources of past production losses due to weather and climate disruption, as...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $649,755 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to the Trustees of Boston University. The grant will fund research from 2022 to 2025 to enhance understanding of the potential consequences of climate change for the economic health of U.S. farmers. Researchers will investigate how climate change impacts domestic crop yields through direct changes in meteorology as well as...
This $650,000 federal Project Grant award from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports research to evaluate the benefits and trade-offs of crop rotational diversity as a climate adaptation strategy. The Agricultural Research Service, a U.S. government agency, will utilize a database of long-term cropping system experiments to quantify how increased rotation diversity impacts resilience to adverse weather, producer economic stability, and nutritional outputs....
Texas A&M Agrilife Research was awarded a $649,976 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The grant aims to characterize water scarcity adaptation behavior in the western U.S. irrigated agricultural sector through empirical modeling of water delivery organization decisions, individual producer adaptation decisions, and the relationship between...
This federal Project Grant award of $400,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program investigates the challenges faced by farmers in adapting to environmental change and climate change. The research project, titled "Equitable Pathways to Climate-Smart Agriculture: Rethinking Adaptation as a Continuum", examines how farmers' ability to adapt farming practices varies, and the long-term impacts of adaptation on the...
This Project Grant award of $649,982 was provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA program. The award supports research by Washington State University to advance climate change impact assessments for irrigated agricultural systems in the Columbia River Basin. The key objectives are to: (i) characterize future regional agricultural water demands, including demands for extreme temperature management; (ii)...
This $1.5 million Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) will fund the development and delivery of a national climate change adaptation training program for agricultural extension professionals. Awarded under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI, CFDA No. 10.310), the funding will support Washington State University in scaling up a pilot climate analog training program into a...
