Reminder: Submit Your Comments to FFAR's Data Solutions for Accelerating Climate-Smart Agriculture RFI
The deadline to submit comments for the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research's (FFAR) Request for Information (RFI) that supports advancing data solutions to accelerate climate-smart agriculture adoption is December 21, 2022.
FFAR is issuing a RFI to explore investments that can increase the use of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data in agricultural research, with a specific emphasis on climate-smart mitigation and adaptation research related to the AgMission™ initiative. With sufficient volume of relevant standardized and interoperable data, agricultural sciences can apply advanced data analytics to address the challenges facing agricultural producers.
FFAR encourages comments from scientists studying agricultural systems and agronomic practices, experts in agricultural data or privacy, developers of metric and digital tools to support on-farm decision-making, and developers and managers of digital data repositories with agricultural and environmental data.
For more information, and to respond to this RFI, visit the Data Solutions for Accelerating Climate-Smart Agriculture Open Opportunity RFI webpage.
