By partnering with us, you join us in tackling today’s biggest food and agriculture challenges.

Our agile funding model facilitates the unique partnerships necessary to advance food and agriculture research. This model leverages federal funding, allocated through the Farm Bill, by building public-private partnerships that match every federal dollar with at least $1 from a non-federal source. Ultimately, our model multiplies your investment by leveraging government resources.

Our public-private partnerships leverage federal funding by matching every federally allocated dollar with at least $1 from a non-federal source. FFAR not only pioneers actionable science, but also more than doubles Congress’ investment.

These partnerships convene experts from the academic, public, private and non-governmental sectors to initiate discoveries that solve major food and agriculture challenges. Our unique connections to the public sector further advance research on sustainable, affordable and nutritious food, grown in ways that support the environment and farmers.
