ICASA: Development of a non-invasive model to induce liver abscess formation in cattle 

Year Awarded  2022

FFAR award amount   $85,700

Total award amount   $180,922

Location   Beltsville, MD

Matching Funders   USDA-ARS, Kansas State University and West Texas A&M University

Grant Quantifies Farm Risk Mitigation Through Improved Soil Health 

Year Awarded  2022

FFAR award amount   $715,611

Total award amount   $1,449,610

Location   Grass Valley, CA

Program   Seeding Solutions

Matching Funders   Paul and June Rossetti Foundation, Mighty Arrow Family Foundation, J.M. Kaplan Fund, Great Island Foundation and Records-Johnston Family Foundation

Grantee Institution   Land Core

This research is generating an unprecedented market-based, actuarially-sound model to quantify farm risk mitigation through the adoption of good soil health practices. The model will provide agricultural lenders and insurers who price risk an economic rational to factor in incentives such as better terms or lower loan rates and insurance prices to producers adopting good soil health practices.

Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) Grazing Research in the U.S. Northern Great Plains

Total award amount   $3,100,000

Location   Tempe, AZ

Matching Funders   McDonald's USA

Grantee Institution   Arizona State

Researchers are investigating whether Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazing, in relation to widespread continuous grazing practices, contributes to measurable differences in overall soil health, environmental sustainability and farmer profitability within the U.S. Northern Great Plains.
