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...
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 (NSF), through its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), awarded a $399,142 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, to be executed from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to analyze how spatial impacts of climate change on agriculture are affected by trade and risk management strategies. Key activities include: (1) estimating trade responses to climate shocks and risks, (2) estimating planting responses...
This $185,453 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to quantify shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years. The research leverages paleoclimate data, weather modeling, and crop simulation techniques to understand the impacts of historical megadroughts and climate change on food production. Key activities include developing open-source software for climate field...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a $417,787 research project at Yale University to investigate how farmers in low-income settings adapt to increased flood risks due to climate change. The research consists of two projects: The first project will combine global flood data, NASA satellite imagery, and vegetation indices to assess the impacts of flooding on agricultural practices, crop...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $121,978 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to investigate the long-term relationship between climate change and agricultural response, focusing on human interactions with plants and animals in dynamic natural and cultural landscapes. The research aims to illuminate how agrarian societies have responded to pronounced environmental...
This $198,435 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "P4CLIMATE--A Paleo Perspective on the Links Between Climate and Food Security." The project will quantitatively assess shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years by merging paleoclimate, weather generation, and crop modeling data. This research aims to understand the impacts of prolonged droughts,...
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...
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 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $544,613 to Cornell University to study how emerging digital technologies are transforming occupations and organizations in dairy farming. Specifically, the research will explore evolving relationships in digital agriculture and their occupational and organizational consequences, generalize...
