The National Science Foundation awarded Syracuse University a $360,000 project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant funds research into the crop-climate feedback cycle and its implications for global food production. Syracuse University will conduct the research and hire a postdoctoral fellow. Dartmouth College will also participate in the research as a sub-awardee. Dartmouth's co-investigator, Dr. Mankin, will contribute climate data and modeling, help implement the project, and mentor the postdoctoral fellow alongside the principal investigator at Syracuse. Both institutions will analyze yield trends, climate projections, and potential feedback effects on agricultural regions. The results will further understanding of climate change risks to global food security and inform strategies to bolster agricultural resilience.
