The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to investigate the challenges faced by farmers in adapting to environmental change. The research examines how farmers' ability to adapt farming practices to climate change varies, and the long-term impacts of adaptation on agricultural sustainability. The project combines field data with spatial models of farmer decision-making, and disseminates research findings to governmental and non-governmental officials connected to agricultural services. The University of Georgia Research Foundation has also subawarded $360,000 to the Trustees of Indiana University to support this research.
