About Us
Integrated Organic and Water Quality Program, ICGP
CSREES is interested in funding comparisons between certified organic farms and conventional farms of sediment delivery, nutrient use and transport, and overall water availability at the farm or field scale.
Projects are expected to combine physical measurements of soil and surface and/or groundwater conditions at the field or farm scale with modeling information generated at the same spatial and temporal scale.
We expect projects to demonstrate (using field and modeling information) benefits or challenges to soil and water availability (quality and quantity) posed by implementing certified organic practices.
Additionally, CSREES is interested in projects that solve water resource issues at the field or farm scale using research, education, and extension activities.
CSREES encourages projects that explore the linkage between surface water and groundwater availability (quality and quantity).
Successful projects must describe expected outcomes in terms of changes in knowledge, changes in behaviors, and changes in environmental conditions.
