1. Cultivating Future Leaders in Sustainable Agriculture: Insights from the Digital Agriculture Fellowship Program at the University of California, RiversideFunded by USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Sustainable Agricultural Systems Program and housed at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), the Digital Agriculture Fellowship (DAF) aims at equipping undergraduate students with the knowledge and experience necessary to meet the agricultural challenges posed by climate change and sustainability concerns. The program was established in 2020 and will be funded through 2026. Activities span over fifteen months for... E. Scudiero, C.I. Nugent, C. Ng, N. Jones, T. Azzam, N.G. Salunga, S. Lemus |
2. In-Season Nitrogen Management: Leveraging Data Visualization for Precision AgricultureThe agricultural sector nitrogen management-related research has been extensively high by experiencing a data revolution, with an increasing influx of information from diverse sources like sensors, satellites, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) imaging technologies. In this context, effective in-season nitrogen data management has become a critical factor; however, the ability of farmers to visualize the impact of such technologies in field research settings has been limited. This project... C. Narayana, S. vanderplas, K.J. Bathke, J.D. Luck |
3. Pesticide Application Management Toolset for Improved Worker ProtectionThe practice of pesticide use has been widely adopted by production agriculture to maximize yields since the 1950s. Even though it provides beneficial economic returns to the farmers, it also enhances the risk of environmental pollution and is directly associated with the risk of poisoning to agricultural workers. While adhering to United States Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Worker Protection Standard (WPS) guidelines, the current systems need considerable time to provide crucial... C.
