** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** AS THESE FARMERS RETIRE OVER THE NEXT 10-20 YEARS, 370 MILLION ACRES WILL CHANGE HANDS. MEANWHILE, THE NUMBER OF BEGINNING FARMERS INCREASED 17% BETWEEN 2012 AND 2017. HOWEVER, BEGINNING AND UNDERSERVED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS FACE ENORMOUS BARRIERS TO FARM VIABILITY, DUE TO MANY FACTORS INCLUDING RISING LAND PRICES, INACCESSIBLE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES, AND LOW PARTICIPATION IN CRITICAL FEDERAL AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMS. THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL TECHNICAL SUPPORT, LAND, AND CAPITAL PROGRAMS TO ENSURE THAT THE NEXT GENERATION OF FARMERS THRIVES. VIVA FARMS IS SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR INNOVATION IN THIS WORK. BASED IN WESTERN WASHINGTON, THE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO CREATING A RESILIENT AGRICULTURAL FUTURE IN WHICH HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED PRODUCERS BUILD STRONG AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES AND HAVE ACCESS TO THE FULL RANGE OF USDA PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT. THIS PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT A FARM VIABILITY MODEL THAT ADDRESSES THE MOST PRESSING BARRIERS CONFRONTING HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED PRODUCERS: LACK OF CULTURALLY- AND ECONOMICALLY-RELEVANT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, LACK OF SECURE LAND ACCESS, AND LACK OF ACCESS TO ADEQUATE CAPITAL. BY CULTIVATING DIVERSE, CROSS-SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS WITH FINANCIAL AND LEGAL ENTITIES, HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, AND NUMEROUS USDA AGENCIES, VIVA FARMS WILL CREATE A BLUEPRINT FOR FARMER TRAINING BEST PRACTICES AND PROGRAMS THAT AGRICULTURAL PRACTITIONERS AND USDA AGENCIES NATIONALLY CAN REPLICATE.

THE INTELLECTUAL MERIT OF THIS PROJECT CENTERS AROUND A DUAL-DETECTOR SYSTEM THAT OVERCOMES THE TRADEOFF BETWEEN SPECTRAL VERSUS SPATIAL RESOLUTION CURRENTLY FACED BY EXISTING OPTICAL SCANNING TECHNOLOGY BY SENSING A SINGLE SPECTRUM REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AVERAGE SIGNAL ACROSS AN ENTIRE IMAGE. THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN ADAPTED INTO AN EMBEDDABLE, PORTABLE SPECTROMETER THAT COMBINES FAST, CALIBRATED, NON-CONTACT DATA AND CONTROL SYSTEMS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODELS TO ENABLE INSTANTANEOUS IN-FIELD DIAGNOSIS. THE PROPOSED PHASE II WORK WILL INTEGRATE THIS PORTABLE DEVICE AND THE ASSOCIATED DETECTION ALGORITHMS WITH A MOUNTABLE RUGGED HYPERSPECTRAL CAMERA FOR MOTION-BASED ANALYSIS AND A REPORTING DASHBOARD INTO A COMPLETE COMMERCIAL SOLUTION. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE EXPANSION AND REFINEMENT OF THE PORTABLE SYSTEM HARDWARE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A VEHICLE-MOUNTED HYPERSPECTRAL CAMERA SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, TO ENABLE DEPLOYMENT IN THE VITICULTURE SECTOR, A COMPREHENSIVE DATA COLLECTION AND MODELING FRAMEWORK DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEXITIES OF MULTI-VARIETY VITICULTURE DISEASE DETECTION WILL BE DEVELOPED. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

SBIR PHASE II: BIOMIMETIC 3D PRINTED METAL MOLD TO MASS PRODUCE MODULAR, BIOPHILIC CONCRETE REEF SUBSTRATE -THE BROADER/COMMERCIAL IMPACT OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT LIES IN DEVELOPING AN INNOVATIVE ARTIFICIAL REEF TILE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO REPLICATE THE NATURAL GROWTH OF OYSTERS, SERVING AS A SURROGATE REEF TO JUMPSTART REEF FORMATION. WITH 85% OF U.S. COASTAL OYSTER HABITATS DEGRADED OR LOST AND NATIVE OYSTER POPULATIONS SEVERELY DEPLETED, LARGE-SCALE REEF RESTORATION HAS BECOME BOTH AN ECOLOGICAL AND COMMERCIAL NECESSITY. RISING SEA LEVELS, INCREASINGLY FREQUENT STORMS, AND ESCALATING DAMAGE TO COASTAL COMMUNITIES HIGHLIGHT THE URGENCY OF RESTORING THESE CRITICAL NATURAL BARRIERS. THIS PROJECT LEVERAGES THE REEF-BUILDING CAPABILITIES OF OYSTERS, REPLICATING THEIR NATURAL ARCHITECTURE AND SHELL CHEMISTRY, TO ENGINEER MASS-PRODUCTION MOLDS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THOUSANDS OF MODULAR REEF UNITS DAILY. IT ALSO OFFERS A SMALLER-SCALE MANUAL PRESS OPTION, EMPOWERING COASTAL COMMUNITIES TO CREATE THEIR OWN RESTORATION TILES AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN HABITAT RECOVERY. BY ENABLING BOTH LARGE-SCALE AND COMMUNITY-LED EFFORTS, THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TRANSFORM GLOBAL REEF RESTORATION PRACTICES WHILE LINKING MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS UNDER A SHARED GOAL. ADDITIONALLY, IT STRENGTHENS U.S. LEADERSHIP IN THE ARTIFICIAL REEF MARKET AND SETS NEW STANDARDS FOR RESTORATION EFFECTIVENESS, AS DEMONSTRATED BY ONGOING CHESAPEAKE BAY PROJECTS MONITORED BY STATE AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES MEASURING ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS. THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING A NOVEL 3-D PRINTED METAL MOLD TO MASS-PRODUCE MODULAR DRY-CAST CONCRETE REEF SUBSTRATES KNOWN AS REEF TILES. DESIGNED FOR LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION, THIS SYSTEM WILL ENABLE COASTAL CONCRETE BLOCK MANUFACTURERS TO CREATE THOUSANDS OF LOW-COST REEF UNITS DAILY, CLOSE TO PROJECT SITES, REDUCING TRANSPORTATION COSTS. THE TRANSITION FROM 3-D PRINTED PLASTIC PROTOTYPE MOLDS TO DURABLE METAL MOLDS, THEIR INTEGRATION INTO BLOCK-MAKING EQUIPMENT, AND SUBSEQUENT FIELD TESTING FORM THE PROJECT?S PRIMARY OBJECTIVES. WHEN ASSEMBLED, THESE REEF TILES FORM ?REEF MATTRESSES? THAT CAN BE INSTALLED USING CONVENTIONAL EQUIPMENT ACROSS A RANGE OF MARINE ENVIRONMENTS?FROM SHORELINES AND INTERTIDAL ZONES TO DEEP OFFSHORE WATERS?CREATING HABITATS FOR SPECIES RANGING FROM OYSTERS AND MUSSELS TO COLD-WATER CORALS, SPONGES, AND ASSOCIATED MARINE LIFE. SUCH HABITATS RESTORE BIODIVERSITY, STRENGTHEN ECOSYSTEMS, AND SUPPORT FISHERIES. CRITICAL TECHNICAL RISKS, THOUGH REDUCED DURING PHASE I, REMAIN IN THE CHALLENGES OF ACHIEVING COMPLEX MOLD TOPOGRAPHY, ENSURING MOLD STRENGTH, AND MAINTAINING CONSISTENT SUBSTRATE QUALITY. ADDITIONAL HURDLES INCLUDE VALIDATING THE REEF TILE?S EFFECTIVENESS AS A FUNCTIONAL REEF HABITAT, VERIFYING LONG-TERM STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, AND ENSURING ADEQUATE SURFACE COMPLEXITY AND TEXTURE UPON RELEASE FROM THE MOLD. SUCCESSFULLY ADDRESSING THESE CHALLENGES POSITIONS THIS TECHNOLOGY TO REVOLUTIONIZE REEF RESTORATION WHILE DRIVING SCALABLE, COST-EFFECTIVE ECOLOGICAL IMPACT. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

THE REPORT HAS INFORMED THE PROGRAMMING AND CURRICULUM INCLUDED IN THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT.IN 2021 A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT, ASSESSING REGIONAL AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION CAPACITY(3) CONDUCTED BY STUDENTS AT HUMBOLDT POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY, FOUND THAT 78% OF SURVEYED HUMBOLDT COUNTY FARMERS AND RANCHERS WOULD INCREASE WHOLESALE PRODUCTION IF THEY WERE GIVEN ASSISTANCE IN PRODUCTION PLANNING AND NEW MARKET OPPORTUNITIES, AND 50% INDICATED THEY HAVE EXTRA ARABLE LAND THAT THEY WOULD USE TO INCREASE THEIR PRODUCTION, GIVEN AN INCREASED MARKET FOR THEIR PRODUCTS.
