Hello, Lawrence:
I thought I'd take a quick moment to forward this Update to you for the Market-Farm List, as I'll be on my way to Colorado in a few hours and won't return until the 14th of May. Have a wonderful week and I'll catch up when I get back!
Blessings,
Ava
INITIATIVE FOR FUTURE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEMS
Proposal Deadline Changed from May 8 to May 22, 2000
The priority areas include:
Agricultural genomics
Agricultural biotechnology
Food safety, food technologies and human nutrition
New uses for agricultural products
Natural resource management, including precision agriculture
Farm efficiency and profitability
About $113 million is available for grants through this Initiative in 2000.
The initiative will give priority to proposals that successfully integrate
research, extension and education and/or address the concerns of small and
mid-sized producers and land managers (especially in natural resource
management and farm efficiency and profitability). The goal of IFAFS is to
award large grants to multi-state, multi-institutional, and
multi-disciplinary projects; preference will be given to those projects.
