Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Foundational Program: Agriculture Economics and Rural Communities
Research and development of innovative ideas, strategies and new technologies are needed to overcome the challenges of rural quality of life and agricultural production, while maintaining a long-term sustainable agricultural system. To adequately assess and understand the challenges, we need to consider social, behavioral, economic, physical, environmental, institutional, or other factors contributing to or arising from these challenges. The primary goal of this program area is to promote economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable agriculture and resilient rural communities. This program area thus supports projects that sustain and enhance agricultural and related activities in rural areas and to protect the environment, enhance quality of life, and alleviate poverty. Single-function Research Projects, multi-function Integrated Projects, and Food and Agricultural Science Enhancement (FASE) Grants are expected to address the Program Area Priorities of the Agriculture Economics and Rural Communities area (see Foundational Program RFA for details).
