About
The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) is a public-private partnership organization that mobilizes federal and private capital to fund innovative research tackling the most pressing challenges in food and agriculture. Established by the 2014 Farm Bill, FFAR complements USDA's research agenda by filling critical knowledge gaps and accelerating the development of solutions that enhance productivity, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. Its unique model matches congressional dollars with private investments, maximizing the return on taxpayer money while fostering collaboration among scientists, growers, and industry stakeholders. FFAR's work delivers actionable science that supports farmers, informs consumers, and protects ecosystems, positioning it as a leading catalyst for transformative change in the ag-food sector.
