Summary

Overview

Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) We connect funders, researchers and farmers through public-private partnerships to support audacious research addressing the biggest food and agriculture challenges. Vision We envision a world in which pioneering, collaborative science provides every person access to affordable, nutritious food grown on thriving farms. Mission We build collaborative partnerships to support audacious science addressing today’s food and agriculture challenges. Efficient Fertilizer Consortium RFA Projects must consist of hypothesis-driven research in one or more of the following topic areas: The impact of stacking EEF(s) with field management (e.g. tillage, cover crops) and 4R Nutrient Stewardship (4RNS) practices (right source, right rate, right time and right placement of fertilizer) in nutrient management to enhance the understanding of how EEFs perform to better support producer decision making.Nutrient carryover effects from EEFs and crop rotations.Identification of EEFs that work best to support crop nutrition, yield and nutrient use efficiency in specific climates, soils and cropping systems.Agronomic and environmental tradeoffs resulting from the implementation of EEFs and other management and 4RNS practices.The impact of EEF use on soil microbial communities and function.
