** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** WHILE FEED FIBER AND FUEL PRODUCED FROM AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES CONTRIBUTE OVER $325 BILLION TO THE U.S. ECONOMY AND REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT ROOM FOR GROWTH. HOWEVER NUMEROUS LOGISTICAL BARRIERS ALONG THE BIOMASS SUPPLY CHAIN LIMIT THIS GROWTH. FARMERS ARE LIMITED BY THE NEED TO PURCHASE COSTLY CROP-SPECIFIC HARVEST EQUIPMENT WHICH INCREASES PRODUCTION COSTS. THE HIGH COST AND LONG-TERM INVESTMENT (20-40 YEARS) FOR THIS EQUIPMENT HINDERS FARMERS' ABILITY TO DIVERSIFY CROPS AND CREATES AN ENTRY BARRIER FOR NEW GROWERS. IT ALSO AFFECTS EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER'S PROFITABILITY. THE BIOMASS PROCESSING INDUSTRY FACES CHALLENGES DUE TO DIFFERENT HARVEST FORMATS STORAGE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESSING METHODS REQUIRED FOR DIFFERENT CROPS.THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO TEST THE VIABILITY SUSTAINABILITY AND ADOPTION POTENTIAL OF A UNIVERSAL FEEDSTOCK SUPPLY (UNIFY) CHAIN LOGISTICS SYSTEM THAT WILL TRANSFORM THE HARVEST AND POST-HARVEST LOGISTICS AND PREPROCESSING METHODS FOR MAJOR U.S. CROPS RESULTING IN INCREASED PRODUCTION OF SUSTAINABLE FEED FIBER AND BIOFUELS. NEW EQUIPMENT AND METHODS WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR HARVEST AND POST-HARVEST OPERATIONS AND INTEGRATES THOSE WITH MORE EFFICIENT PREPROCESSING METHODS TO REDUCE COSTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. OUR RESEARCH TEAM WILL COLLABORATE WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO DESIGN OPTIMIZE AND DEMONSTRATE A PILOT UNIFY SYSTEM FOR SIX CROPS (CORN SOYBEAN COTTON HEMP CAMELINA SWITCHGRASS) THAT HAVE DIFFERENT PHYSIOLOGIES AND COVER ALMOST HALF OF THE U.S. CROPLAND. THIS WORK WILL DEMONSTRATE THE UNIFY SYSTEM'S VIABILITY FOR OTHER CROPS WITH SIMILAR PHYSIOLOGIES LAYING THE GROUNDWORK NEEDED FOR ITS ADOPTION. IN ADDITION TO TESTING AND DEMONSTRATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE UNIFY SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE CROP PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING WE WILL DESIGN AND DELIVER EXTENSION AND EDUCATION CURRICULA THAT SHIFT STAKEHOLDERS' PERSPECTIVES AND UNDERSTANDING OF NEW COST-EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT METHODS FOR IMPROVING BIOMASS PRODUCTION. THIS PROGRAMMING WILL ALSO CREATE A PATHWAY FOR INCREASING THE BIOECONOMY WORKFORCE.BY THE END OF THIS PROJECT WE WILL HAVE EVALUATED THE AGRONOMIC ENVIRONMENTAL AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE UNIFY SYSTEM AND DETERMINED THE FACTORS AFFECTING ITS SUSTAINABILITY. WE WILL ALSO HAVE ASSESSED THE NEEDS OF STAKEHOLDERS FROM MULTIPLE SECTORS DOCUMENTED SHIFTS IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND BEHAVIOR REGARDING CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS VERSUS UNIFY AND DETERMINED THE ADOPTION POTENTIAL OF THE UNIFY SYSTEM. DEMONSTRATION OF THE UNIFY SYSTEM AT SCALE IS EXPECTED TO CATALYZE ADOPTION OF IT ENABLING PRODUCERS AND INDUSTRIES TO TAP INTO BURGEONING BIOBASED MARKETS AND IMPROVE THE RESILIENCE OF THE BIOECONOMY VIA INCREASED SUSTAINABLE CLIMATE-SMART PRODUCTION OF FEED FIBER AND BIOFUELS. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BIOECONOMY CURRICULA WILL PROVIDE A TRAINED WORKFORCE THAT WILL FURTHER ENABLE ADOPTION OF UNIFY.$10,000,000

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** A LARGE BODY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH HAS DEMONSTRATED HOW CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES (CSAPS) CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF US FARMERS. HOWEVER, ADOPTION OF CSAPS REMAINS EXTREMELY LOW, AND RESULTS FROM CONTROLLED TRIALS HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE ON WORKING FARMS. BUILDING ON EXTENSIVE INPUT FROM FARMERS AND STAKEHOLDERS, WE WILL BUILD A NESTED TRANSDISCIPLINARY PLATFORM WHERE FARMERS, SCIENTISTS, AND PARTNERS WILL CO-PRODUCE THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT AND ADOPTION OF PLACE-BASED CSAPS IN MIDWESTERN CROPPING SYSTEMS LEADING TO REDUCED GHG EMISSIONS AND INCREASED CARBON SEQUESTRATION, CLIMATE RESILIENCE, AND FARM VIABILITY. THE CORE (TIER 1) IS A NETWORK OF LOCAL NODES IN EACH STATE WHERE FARMERS WILL LEAD THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ON-FARM RESEARCH TO ADDRESS CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE AND PERFORMANCE GAPS. WE WILL ALSO ENGAGE KEY LOCAL ACTORS (TIER 2) TO IDENTIFY THE OUTCOMES REQUIRED TO GAIN THEIR SUPPORT FOR FARMER CSAP USE. FINALLY, WE WILL COLLABORATE WITH NATIONAL ACTORS (TIER 3) TO ENSURE OUR WORK CAN BENEFIT EFFORTS TO REFORM POLICIES AND DESIGN MARKET MECHANISMS TO INCENTIVIZE USE OF CSAPS AND PROVIDE CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES. WE WILL WORK IN OHIO AND MISSOURI, MAJOR FARM STATES WITH DIVERSE BIOPHYSICAL CONTEXTS WHERE THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY ON CSAP PERFORMANCE CAN BE COMPARED ACROSS TIME AND SPACE. OUR PROJECT WILL FULLY INTEGRATE RESEARCH, EXTENSION AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES BY FACILITATING PEER-TO-PEER AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND INCREASING PARTICIPATION IN STEM BY UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY STUDENTS AT EACH TIER OF RESEARCH ACTIVITY. FARMERCO-DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH DESIGNS, EXTENSION PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES WILL ENSURE GREATER OWNERSHIP AND TRUST IN DATA AND PRODUCTS DEVELOPED BY THE PROJECT. WE WILL ALSO ASSESS WHETHER A DEEPLY COLLABORATIVE AND FARMER-LED APPROACH CHANGES CSAP ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS.$10,000,000

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** WIDESPREAD AND LONG-TERM ADOPTION OF CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES (CSAP) ON FARMS REPRESENTS A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF THE U.S. NATIONAL STRATEGY TO ACHIEVE A 50% REDUCTION IN NET CARBON EMISSIONS BY 2030. NOWHERE IS ADOPTION MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MIDWESTERN CORN BELT (MWCB) WHERE 60% OF THE NATION'S CORN AND 58% OF ITS SOYBEANS ARE CURRENTLY PRODUCED. TO DATE HOWEVER THE RATE OF CSAP ADOPTION HAS BEEN SLOWED BY (I) LOW CARBON INCENTIVES THAT REFLECT MARKET UNCERTAINTY AND UNKNOWN INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PRIVATE MARKETS AND FEDERAL FUNDING; (II) NOVEL EMERGING CARBON SCIENCE THAT COMPOUNDS EXISTING FARMER HESITANCY AND UNCERTAINTY DUE TO UNKNOWN TRADEOFFS OR SYNERGIES WITH IMPORTANT GOALS LIKE FOOD PRODUCTION AND WATER QUALITY; AND (III) AN INABILITY TO TAILOR FEDERAL CONTRACT OR PRIVATE PAYMENT STRUCTURES TO ACCOUNT FOR VAST HETEROGENEITY AMONGST FARMER TYPES AND FIELD BIOPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS. THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES BY TRANSLATING THE SCIENCE OF SOIL ORGANIC CARBON (SOC) SEQUESTRATION AND FARMER BEHAVIOR INTO ACTIONS THAT INCREASE SOC STORED IN AGRICULTURAL FIELDS OF THE MWCB WHILE BALANCING OTHER ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS OUTCOME WE WILL DEVELOP AN INTEGRATED POLICY AND DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM THAT QUANTIFIES ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES OF CSAP ADOPTION FROM FIELD TO REGIONAL SCALES. THE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM WILL ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL AND EXTENSION RESOURCES INCLUDING A MULTI-SCALE INTEGRATED MODEL ENABLED THROUGH KNOWLEDGE-GUIDED MACHINE LEARNING; AN EXPANDED CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT DECISION SUPPORT TOOL LEVERAGING COMET-PLANNER (CARBON MANAGEMENT AND EMISSION TOOL) TO QUANTIFY TRADE-OFFS SYNERGIES AND RISKS OF CSAP ADOPTION; A VIRTUAL POLICY SCENARIO DASHBOARD; AN UNDER-REPRESENTED MINORITY UNDERGRADUATE STEM RESEARCH EXPERIENCE; A TRANSDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE TRAINING PROGRAM; AND AN ONLINE CARBON SCIENCE AND POLICY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONALS. THE RESULTING TOOLS WILL ENCOURAGE MORE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF CSAP THROUGH IMPROVED APPLICATION OF GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE INCENTIVES FOR CARBON STORAGE COMBINED WITH ENHANCED KNOWLEDGE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CARBON CYCLE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE AND WATER QUALITY. THE PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE A LONGER-TERM IMPACT THROUGH ITS UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROGRAM AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDENT COHORT BOTH OF WHICH WILL INSPIRE NOVEL THINKING ABOUT FUTURE COMPLEX SCIENCE PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS.$9,985,000
