FOUNDATION FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE RESEARCH
Programs
Program 1 [2020]
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE SYSTEMS ARE COMPLEX, WHERE ISSUES REQUIRE APPROACHES FROM MANY DISCIPLINES AND EXPERTS. OUR RESEARCH IN EACH CHALLENGE AREA TARGETS URGENT FOOD AND AGRICULTURE TOPICS THAT HAVE BROAD IMPLICATIONS AND IMPACTS. FFAR HAS SIX CHALLENGE AREAS: SOIL HEALTH, SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT, NEXT GENERATION CROPS, ADVANCED ANIMAL SYSTEMS, HEALTH-AGRICULTURE NEXIS AND URBAN FOOD SYSTEMS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$16.4MProgram 2 [2020]
FFAR ALSO HAS MANY LARGE INITIATIVES THAT FALL OUTSIDE OF ITS CHALLENGE AREAS. THEY INCLUDE A LARGE INVESTMENT IN THE REALIZING INCREASED SYNTHETIC PHOTOSYNTHESIS (RIPE) PROGRAM WHERE RESEARCH HAS DEMONSTRATED AN INCREASE IN PLANT YIELD AND A REDUCTION IN WATER USAGE. FFAR'S AGRICULTURE CLIMATE PARTNERSHIP IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO DRIVE U.S. AGRICULTURE TO BE NET NEGATIVE FOR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THROUGH CLIMATE SMART FARMING BY 2030.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$23.1MProgram 3 [2020]
PIONEERING SCIENCE IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH A DIVERSE, CREATIVE SCIENTIFIC WORKFORCE. FFAR HAS FELLOWSHIP, GRANT AND AWARD PROGRAMS TO RECOGNIZE SCIENTIFIC LEADERS, PROVIDE UNIQUE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES, SUPPORT YOUNG FACULTY AND INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3.2M
