Data-driven market transformation for controlled environmentagriculture

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) was awarded a $595,026 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. The grant will support ACEEE's DATA-DRIVEN MARKET TRANSFORMATION FOR CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT AGRICULTURE project from February 22, 2021 through February 21, 2024.

Under this project, ACEEE will work to promote agricultural production and environmental quality through data-driven market transformation strategies for controlled environment agriculture. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program aims to optimize environmental benefits on agricultural lands through voluntary partnerships with farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. ACEEE's project aligns with this goal by developing data-driven approaches to transform markets for controlled indoor farming practices toward greater energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
