SUMMARY:AFRI - FAS Economics\, Markets and Trade (A1641)
DESCRIPTION:Program Area Priority: This program area priority supports research on development of theories\, methods and applications of agricultural economics. It encourages applications in the following broad areas: agricultural market structure and performance; competitiveness in international trade and domestic markets; agricultural production and resource use; consumer behavior; farm labor and immigration and policy; agricultural policy design and impacts; technology development and adoption; and science and innovation policy. \nThe program area priority scope includes\, but is not limited to: \na. Examine the economics of agriculture and food policy\, including changes in trade\, immigration\, crop insurance\, price stabilization and income support. \nb. Factors addressing farm labor shortages\, contributing to development and adoption of labor-saving or substituting technology; implications for farmer and farm labor economic welfare. Address the particular concerns regarding technology adoption and decision-making challenges for historically underserved farmers and ranchers. \nc. Examine factors contributing to pest resistance in pesticide use (and other pest management approaches) and the adoption of pest resistance mitigation strategies. \nd. Economic and behavioral aspects of consumption or savings behavior\, consumer financial decision making; agricultural production and technology adoption\, and the design and implementation of policy intended to affect those behaviors. e. Examine the causes and consequences of food and nutritional insecurity. \nf. Examine the economic implications of big data on agricultural markets\, industry structure\, and agricultural and food value chains\, how big data informs decision-making by agricultural producers\, policymakers\, and consumers and enhances market efficiency and performance. Development of innovative empirical methods for addressing economic analysis using big data\, machine learning\, and natural language processing techniques. \nproducers. Examine the economics and performance of the supply chains that emerge to implement new technologies\, how they are affected by various policies\, and their competitiveness and trade implications. \nh. Examine the impact of disasters on food supply chain resilience\, agricultural production\, and consumer behavior. \ni. NIFA and the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) are interested in partnering on the following priority pending funding: \nExamine the benefits to U.S. agriculture\, and costs of USDA-FAS’s agricultural technical assistance and capacity building for low- and middle-income countries\, \n\nEconomic and trade impacts of agriculture market access barriers including barriers to regulations that govern the use of genetically-engineered organisms for product approval and import.

SUMMARY:AFRI - FAS Engineering for Agricultural Production and Processing (A1521)
DESCRIPTION:Program Area Priority: This program area priority focuses on engineered devices\, technologies\, and tools to improve agriculturally relevant plant\, animal\, and forestry systems. This excludes precision crop and water management systems\, which are now included in a new program (A1551). See “additional information\,” part (g.) below. Applications must have a significant engineering component. Engineering is defined as the application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design\, manufacture\, and operation of efficient and sustainable structures\, technologies\, machines\, processes\, and systems. Some broad emphasis areas include\, but are not limited to: \na. Enable engineering\, sensing\, computing\, modeling\, automation\, and information systems for: forestry\, plant and animal production and protection (including aquaculture); and post-harvest inspection\, handling\, processing\, packaging\, and distribution. \nb. Develop systems or technology for sensing\, automation and mechanization of laborintensive tasks in crop and animal production (including aquaculture). \nc. Technologies for nutrient recovery from manure. d. Topics of water or nutrient management are not covered by program A1551. \ne. Explore the use or development of advanced computational or engineering methods and technologies for navigation\, mining\, management\, visualization\, understanding\, and communication of agricultural systems data in production and processing systems. \nf. Develop and test risk assessment and mitigation measures applicable to agriculture (in particular\, reduce hazards to agricultural workers that can include assistive technologies). \ng. Within potential topics presented herein\, methods of breaking down technological barriers to adoption in integrated projects are welcomed.
