This Project Grant award of $800,000.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program and is scheduled to run from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028. The overarching goal of the research project is to assess the economic impacts of regulations for genetically modified (GM) organisms across four key areas: technology adoption and agricultural productivity, the determinants of GM regulations, the effects on international...
This $3,493,549 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Integrated Programs (CFDA 10.303) supports a collaborative effort led by the Organic Seed Alliance (OSA) to advance organic seed production research and education. The key objectives are to: 1) Elucidate the effects of genetics, climate, and management on organic vegetable seed yields through multi-location trials, participatory research, and developing a seed yield database; 2) Create economic...
This $407,593 federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program (CFDA 10.310) will develop conceptual and empirical models of the U.S. agrochemical market. The analysis will utilize a novel empirical discrete-choice representation of farm-level demand for agrochemicals, incorporating both observed and unobserved heterogeneity. It will be based on a large proprietary dataset of pesticide choices by...
This $799,923 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research into the relationship between trade policy and large-scale international land acquisitions for agriculture. Specifically, the awardee San Diego State University Research Foundation will estimate the causal effects of trade liberalization, in the form of regional...
This $649,999 project grant was awarded on July 1, 2023 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant will fund a 3-year research project led by Michigan State University to conduct a tracking survey to capture spatial and temporal variations in consumers' trust in science and acceptance of new agricultural and food technologies, such as genetic engineering. The project will...
This $600,969 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) supports the development of an "Electroponics" system for the precision delivery of water and agrichemicals to crops. The project aims to address challenges posed by climate change and population growth, including water scarcity and inefficient agrichemical application, through an interdisciplinary...
This Project Grant award for $649,835.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) will support a multi-year research project at the University of Minnesota. The project aims to: Improve and extend sub-national agricultural input, output, and productivity metrics over a century-long time period; Quantify the productivity implications of long-term shifts in the geographic footprint of U.S....
This $299,496 federal Project Grant award from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, CFDA 10.310, aims to build gene regulatory networks that combine gene expression and epigenomic data from nitrogen and CO2 treatments to enhance the accuracy of predictions and identify key transcription factors involved in coordinating carbon-nitrogen homeostasis in legumes. The goal is to develop strategies to achieve maximum crop yield and quality in future climates. The award...
This $10 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) will support the development of a cover crop seed industry through research, education, and outreach activities led by the University of Missouri from April 2023 through March 2028.
