Explore agriculture and landscape systems that can recover from perturbations and improve the ecosystem and human conditions, while increasing yields and ecosystem services.
Advance expertise to design agriculture and landscape systems that can recover from perturbations, improve the ecosystem and human community conditions, and persist into the future while increasing profitable yields and ecosystem services.
Objectives
- Identify plant, crop, weed, soil, and water management practices that facilitate adaptation to climate and other abiotic and biotic stress.
- Identify plant, crop, weed, soil, and water management practices that impact the urban managed ecosystem.
- Expand support to the organic farming community through research and extension activities.
