This $521,387 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the dynamics of crop diversification and simplification traps in agricultural systems. The project uses modeling, interviews, and historical data analysis to characterize how socio-technical lock-in can pose barriers to greater crop diversification, and how this in turn impacts the resilience of interconnected...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a two-year postdoctoral fellowship focused on measuring the impacts of community seed banks on nutrition, food security, and food sovereignty in underserved regions of the United States. The research objective is to identify existing agrobiodiversity conservation initiatives, such as community seed banks, in high-poverty and food-insecure regions, and trace...
Cornell University was awarded a $131,797 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for the period of April 15, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The grant will support an ethnographic study of agrarian life and applied agricultural science in high altitude, landslide-prone landscapes. The principal investigator will collect data on agricultural extension services, agrarian landscapes, livelihoods, and the role of small...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,040,113 Project Grant to the University of Michigan under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2028. The grant will support research examining the drivers of variation in plant-animal defense mutualisms, specifically investigating ecological, micro-, and macro-evolutionary variation in mite domatia structures across North American tree communities, genera, and species. The...
This $749,999 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will fund a collaborative effort to convert low-yielding cropland in the U.S. Midwest to native perennial vegetation. The project, led by Michigan State University (MSU) in partnership with a state agency and sharecroppers, aims to assess the impacts of this conservation approach on biodiversity and ecosystem services while maintaining...
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 $550,084 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports Michigan State University (MSU) in developing four "archetypes" to better understand differing perspectives on the goals and purposes of agriculture and the food system. The archetypes cover different visions, including technological modernization, sustainable intensification, regional food systems, and urban agriculture. The project aims...
