SUMMARY:AFRI - FAS Sustainable Bioeconomy through Biobased Products (A1414)
DESCRIPTION:Program Area Priority: This program area priority focuses on developing biomass systems\, and producing biobased products or biomass generated power to enable the bioeconomy\, and in a manner\, which reduces adverse impacts to the environment. The sustainable bioeconomy encompasses the development of bio-based products that promote human health\, economic prosperity\, energy security\, ecosystem resources\, and mitigation of climate change. The development of bio-based products can complement existing agricultural production systems and industrialized processes by creating opportunities to improve overall system profitability and productivity. Development of biomass systems also can entail development of co-products (e.g.\, lignin\, biochar\, etc.) so that circular economies are supported. Projects should address one or more of the following (order does not indicate importance): \na. New and/or improved strategies to develop bio-based products that improve product functionality\, increase potential revenues and/or reduce cost over incumbent products; this includes addressing supply chain challenges for the production systems for feedstock/germplasm improvement\, product formulation or end-user market demand; \nb. Strategies and approaches for scalable biomass systems that provide beneficial ecosystem services\, such as carbon sequestration\, improved water availability and quality\, improved life cycle emissions\, nutrient use reduction\, or wildlife and pollinator habitat 62 enhancements; and \nc. Strategies to alleviate technical\, and economic barriers leading to adoption resulting in improved consumer attitudes toward the bioeconomy and strengthening the rural economy through development of new bioproducts and employment opportunities.

SUMMARY:AFRI - FAS Water Quantity and Quality (A1411)
DESCRIPTION:Program Area Priority: The U.S. is committed to the proper management of agricultural practices and improved efficiency of agricultural water uses to protect water quality and increase water and food security\, and improve resilience of agricultural and forest ecosystems to climate change (U.S. Global Water Strategy\, 2017). USDA-NIFA will provide competitive support to improve water science\, management and technologies\, water conservation and water use efficiency; promote common data exchange formats and access to data for decision-making\, improve forecasting and model water related systems\, and promote technology adoption and behavior change by producers\, land managers\, and decision makers. Practically\, USDA-NIFA seeks applications to: \na. Reduce the freshwater demand (both groundwater and surface water) for irrigation and the nutrient demand for maximum crop production by substituting the use of other technologies\, management practices and/or other water sources (recycled wastewater\, brackish groundwater\, agricultural return flow and produced water from industry) while retaining appropriate soil health (managed salinity\, adequate infiltration\, proper application and use of soil amendments\, such as fertilizers\, manure and biochar) and eliminating accelerated erosion from farm fields\, and; \nb. Protect water quality of surface and groundwater systems through improved nutrient management\, improved pesticide management\, and reduced nutrient pesticide\, pathogen\, and contaminants of environmental concern (CEC) loads to surface or groundwater.
