Purdue University received a $728,000 project grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), effective March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2029. The award supports research to improve understanding of the linkages between global conservation policies—specifically proposals to designate 30 percent of global land for nature conservation—and their cascading impacts on U.S. agricultural land use, farmland economics, and rural communities. The research will deliver a validated, high-resolution multi-crop partial equilibrium model of agriculture and land use nested within a global economic framework and linked to natural resources and ecosystem services models. The project will conduct structural estimation of model parameters, analyze global conservation policy scenarios, perform multi-scale economic policy analysis, and assess mutual benefits between agricultural productivity and natural capital conservation. Deliverables will include rigorous validation of the integrated modeling framework and stakeholder engagement with Native American tribes and geoscientists to examine governance implications and maximize benefits to rural communities, including tribal lands.Federal Grant Award Summary
