- 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 $250,000 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will fund research to improve rice cultivation practices and reduce arsenic uptake in rice crops. The goal is to develop a mechanistic understanding of environmental factors controlling arsenic solubility and speciation in rice paddy soils. A multidisciplinary team from Columbia University, Union College, and San Diego State University will fuse frequent soil geochemistry, mineralogy, microbiology and hydrology...
- This Project Grant award of $284,207.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research at Cornell University examining farmer decision-making processes related to climate adaptation through the adoption of new crop varieties. The key products of this 3-year project include: (1) developing a multi-scale modeling approach combining land surface modeling, satellite...
- 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 $175,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the AI-ENGAGE: HARVEST project, which is investigating smart farming technologies that use artificial intelligence (AI) to help farmers protect crops, use resources more efficiently, and reduce reliance on chemicals. The key products and services delivered through this funding include: An early-warning system that merges rapid disease tests with...
- This $324,213 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of a novel AI infrastructure to integrate multi-scale sensing data and 3D modeling for enhanced crop monitoring and assessment. The key products to be delivered include: An AI system that integrates satellite, drone, and in-situ sensor data to accurately model 3D crop structures, including both above- and below-ground...
This $125,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program on September 1, 2025 supports a research project titled "SCC-CIVIC-FA TRACK A: Resilient Rice Farming through Community Innovation". The project aims to explore the feasibility and broader impacts of introducing rice farming as a resilient alternative to traditional crops in regions facing increasing environmental variability. The research combines agronomy, environmental science, engineering, and community development to evaluate techniques for sustainable rice farming, including field trials to test soil and water management methods that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower arsenic uptake, and enhance nutrient use efficiency. The project will also assess farmer participation and decision-making through a quasi-experimental study, and conduct cost-benefit analyses to compare irrigation strategies. By working with Cornell Cooperative Extension and other partners, the project will build knowledge-sharing networks, deliver training and decision-support tools, and engage with policymakers to promote rice as a strategic crop for agricultural diversification and resilience.
