Dear CAFE-rs,

A nice opportunity from Jim Llano.

FFAR applications are not difficult - as long as you can find the
"matching" funding (which can include UCR-based salaries).

Best wishes,

Norm

HI Norm and Deborah,

Will you please share this FFAR RFP for “pre-proposals” with the CAFÉ
community. FFAR’s challenge areas include:

·         Soil Health

·         Sustainable Water Management

·         Next Generation Crops

·         Urban Food Systems

·         Health – Agriculture Nexus

The “AgMission” Initiative is an unprecedented initiative mobilizing
farmers, ranchers, scientists, data providers, stakeholders and funders to
develop and implement climate-smart solutions at scales and rates
previously unimagined. Candidates must have a strong interest in the
intersection between agriculture and climate change with excellent program
management skills and experience in working in digital agriculture and/or
creating and managing data systems of agricultural relevance.

Thanks, Jim
