Progress 06/01/23 to 05/31/24
Outputs Target Audience:AI-Climate reached a broad audience of stakeholders, students, and industry experts during Y1. Our Extension and Workforce Development team specifically implemented many stakeholder engagement activities, including needs assessments, literature reviews, focus groups, and iPad surveys, laying the groundwork for impactful outreach and education efforts.In year 1 alone, their focus group efforts have involved over 50 farmers, foresters, and non-farmer stakeholders across six states. In our research and collaboration endeavors, we actively engage scholars from underrepresented groups through various avenues, including research experiences for undergraduate and graduate students, mentorship programs to establish long-term relationships, and research initiatives addressing equity in AI-CLIMATE adoption. Currently, 19 students across various levels and backgrounds are engaged in bi-weekly mentorship, research, and literature review circles facilitated by AI-Climate faculty. Additionally, at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), graduate students in computer science were provided with a GitHub site giving access to KGML code and datasets associated with the AI-CLIMATE publication by Liu et al. (2024). Graduate students were able to learn how to run KGML code and use datasets to reproduce all of the key findings in the AI-CLIMATE publication, providing them with insights into both computer science methodology as well as real world results pertaining to effects of autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration on carbon sequestration. The Broadening Participation Team (BP) has not only amplified outreach efforts to underserved audiences but also significantly informed the work of AI-CLIMATE with representation across most of the EWD work. Presentations at key events, including the Rutgers Climate Symposium 2023 and Breaking Barriers Through Diversity and Inclusivity 2024 in Islamabad, Pakistan, have been opportunities to showcase our dedication to diversity and inclusivity while shaping the direction of our initiatives. At the Rutgers Climate Symposium, Dr. Rose Ogutu delivered presentations and moderated sessions including "AI Climate Broadens Outreach to Underserved Audiences," and "AI Green Alliance" underscored how BP members actively contribute to shaping global dialogues and collaborations within the AI-CLIMATE community. Additionally, AI-CLIMATE team members also engaged externally with several USDA funded Climate Smart Commodity projects to identify potential collaborations with AI-CLIMATE on tracking CSAF practice implementation and developing tools for Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions associated with practice implementation. Changes/Problems:The convergent research and other activities of AI-CLIMATE are largely on track or ahead of schedule. However, due to trainee availability and membership bandwidth, we did push out milestones around Computer Vision Guided Perception Analysis and Integration research activities into Q1 of Year 2. We also found that some of the initiatives or milestones that require or would be best supported by a fully-staffed and mature Institute have been slower to start and will require additional attention to ensure timely progress. To that end, AI-CLIMATE is in the end stages of hiringadditional staff members to work exclusivelyon furthering our education and outreach initiatives. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Providing basic internal training on AI, climate, and team science concepts is a cornerstone of our institute going into Year 2. We plan to address challenges regarding uncertainties about roles, responsibilities, and understanding of key concepts such as climate and AI. Implementing basic training sessions will ensure that all participants have a shared understanding of these complex concepts, fostering clearer communication and alignment of goals within the Institute. That said, we did take many opportunities during our Year 1 All-Hands Meetings to share knowledge across specialties and vignettes. These sessions provided opportunities for team members to collaborate, ask questions, and provide a basis of understanding across the institute, which then led smaller groups to undertake their own additional training to fill in any perceived gaps in training and knowledge. For example, members of the EWD team took courses on artificial intelligence, statistics, and leadership courses. This group also participated in Bruce Erickson's digital agriculture course as a means to educate themselves while simultaneously providing feedback. AI-CLIMATE has undertaken a series of mentorship and training activities during year 1 in the aim of fostering academic and personal growth in students interested in undertaking careers related to AI-CLIMATE. Natalie Hunt has worked on developing a AI/CSAF modules for undergrad students to train the next generation of CSAF leaders, while Emma Eckley, Candace Hulbert, and Bruce Erickson have all invited students to assist with their work on climate smart practices as interns and mentees. In addition, faculty members David Mulla and Nikos Papanikolopoulos facilitate a bi-weekly KGML student meeting, which includes a journal club readings, mentor presentations, and discussions based on the research interests of student members. Currently, 22 students and postdocs participate in the bi-weekly meeting. Our stakeholder engagement objectives focus on conducting needs assessments to gather insights, experiences, and challenges faced by stakeholders. We employ various methods such as face to face meetings, literature reviews, focus groups, surveys, and engaged research to inform the development of AI-driven decision support tools and technologies. In our annual report, we highlight our team and institute's coordinated efforts in advancing our mission. We've established efficient communication channels such as Slack, Trello, and Zotero to facilitate collaboration and resource sharing. Our Google Drive houses essential documents, agendas, and meeting notes, ensuring transparency and accessibility. Weekly team meetings serve as a platform for progress updates and strategic planning. In our stakeholder engagement and needs assessment initiatives, we've developed a comprehensive plan to gather insights and address key concerns. Our literature review is currently underway, laying the foundation for informed decision-making. Plans for focus groups with extension groups are in progress, with pilot Farmer Focus Group meetings having been conducted in New York and Minnesota during April 2024. Additionally, we're conducting pilot surveys to gather valuable feedback from farmers and stakeholders. In terms of training and education, we're committed to developing curriculum and providing instruction in critical areas such as CSAF, digital agriculture, and AI technology integration in agriculture. As an example, Graduate students at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU), a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) received training on how to use KGML-ag code and sample datasets. Our outreach efforts encompass speaking engagements, conferences, and events are tailored for farmers. We're actively engaging with younger audiences through initiatives like the June 2024 NYS 4-H Career Expo, offering interactive sessions on AI and CSA. Furthermore, we're enhancing stakeholder engagement through updated website content, informative flyers, and collaboration with design consultants to create engaging materials.

Education on Digital Agriculture and Climate-Smart Agriculture: Climate-Smart Agriculture Course for Farmers (Live training by Zoom with office Hours) - Led by Cornell University - Team members (Allison Chatrchyan and Candace Hulbert) developed a new course on Climate Smart Agriculture, with the USDA Northeast Climate Hub, for dairy farmers and advisors in NY, VT, PA and ME, through the Dairy Climate Adaptation. We developed and implemented a 7 week course, and will be supporting dairy farmers and their advisors to develop a climate adaptation or mitigation plan for their farm. Candace Hulbert also worked with the USDA Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Fellowship (CAMF) to present her new On-Farm Disaster Preparedness and Planning module to northeastern and midwestern Women and Non-binary Vegetable growers and northeastern Diversified Agriculture and Agroforestry farmers. These modules can also be used for additional training with AI-climate Institute stakeholders. We will also offer a supplemental training on Digital Agriculture and AI for all of the USDA NE CAMF farmer fellows (https://www.adaptationfellows.net) Digital Agriculture Online Course for Advisors (asynchronous) - Led by Purdue University - in development, to be offered by Fall 2024 GHG Mitigation Training Sessions using COMET-Farm - Led by Colorado State University Development of new modules by our team - in development during Year 2. In terms of training and education, collaborative efforts with institutions like Purdue, Cornell, Colorado State, and Delaware State will lead to the development and offering of sessions on CSA, climate-smart tools, and AI. These sessions aim to provide practical training and hands-on experiences for farmers and stakeholders. For example, on March 8, 2024, Candace Hulbert presented to fifty livestock and vegetable farmers at the Profiting From a Few Acres Conference in Dover Delaware about Understanding Climate-Smart Agriculture Strategies and Technologies on Small Farms. Our outreach and engagement efforts involve active participation in agriculture meetings, conferences, and events, coupled with the development of materials and content to effectively engage with stakeholders. This includes updating our website, creating informative one-pagers authored by research team members, and refreshing our AI-Institute logo with the assistance of a design consultant. These initiatives collectively underscore our commitment to advancing agricultural innovation and fostering meaningful engagement with stakeholders. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?AI-CLIMATE has undertaken a series of approaches to raise awareness of its mission and share our findings. During Year 1, our faculty created two new graduate-level courses to be taught in the fall of 2024, which will integrate AI-CLIMATE content. We have also made our research datasets available to Prairie View A&M University for students. David Mulla presented two very well-received talks on AI tools being developed by AI-CLIMATE at the USDA-funded AI for Ag conference organized by Texas A&M and Prairie View A&M Universities in April of 2024. The event was attended by over 250 faculty members, graduate students, farmers, and government agency representatives. The Education and Workforce Development team has beencoordinating an AI-CLIMATE Stakeholder Needs Assessment to collect the views, experiences, and challenges and opportunities relevant stakeholders face to inform the development of new AI-driven decision support tools and technology. The needs assessment included a literature review of multiple stakeholder views on CSAF, digital agriculture, and AI; focus groups conducted in 6 states NY, DE, CO, IN, MN and CA; and national stakeholder survey of farmer and rancher views on CSAF, digital agriculture, and AI. The focus groups included six farmer and rancher focus groups (in-person); three forester focus groups (in-person); six extension focus groups (in-person); one Climate-Smart Commodities leader focus group (on-line); and one state and federal agency staff focus group (on-line). Furthermore, Allison and Candace from the EWD team are project leaders and content developers for the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Fellowship, which runs four programs that began in January 2024 and will run through the beginning of 2026. These cohort-based learning opportunities are for farmers and agricultural advisors in the Northeast and Midwest who are interested in climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies and planning, as well as peer-to-peer networking and support. Candace then partnered with Rose Ogutu to facilitate the Profiting From A Few Acres Conference in March of 2024, which provides small farm owners with best practices concerning agriculture production, farm management, and profitability. Each of these events served as a platform for publicizing the work done at AI-CLIMATE to a wide and diverse audience. AI-CLIMATE has held a weekly All-Hands Meeting starting September 20th, 2023, focused on knowledge sharing of research, education, outreach, and extension activities. Each meeting set aside time for questions, collaboration, and conceptualization to foster community and synthesize efforts. On average, AI-CLIMATE has had 20-30 participants per meeting.

Key variables such as nitrous oxide would be included. Enhancements are underway in the nitrification and denitrification routines within the DayCent model. Additionally, there is a focus on addressing spatio-temporal variability in soil moisture modeling within KGML. Reducing Uncertainty in National Assessment Inventory by more accurately estimating C and GHG fluxes. This flagship project aims to reduce uncertainty in the National Assessment Inventory using KGML tools, which will concurrently improve the accuracy of the COMET PLANNER. The approach should involve developing AI guided tools for reducing uncertainty, model intercomparison (Ecosys, DNDC, DayCent), ensemble modeling (E.g. Land-CRAFT project) and surrogate modeling. Foundational LLM Modeling The project involves foundational modeling with pre-training tasks and predefined weights. Improvements in achieving these weights have been demonstrated in crop mapping and can be extended to estimating carbon, nitrous oxide, methane fluxes, and the implementation of climate-smart practices. A matrix approach to modeling C, N, and P fluxes is proposed as a new element of foundational modeling. Linking Top-Down and Bottom-Up Modeling This project aims to link top-down and bottom-up modeling for nitrous oxide and methane using tall tower and eddy covariance measurements. The goal is to bridge gaps between these approaches to verify and improve accuracy in the National Inventory. Developing an accurate KGML-DayCent model is crucial for this project, indicating that it will require time to achieve.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
In its inaugural year, AI-CLIMATE has embarked on a mission to revolutionize AI and decision support tools for climate-smart practices in agriculture and forestry, aiming to tackle previously insurmountable challenges and expedite climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts while informing policy and bolstering carbon markets. Our vision encompasses cultivating a national and global community of AI experts and practitioners, establishing ourselves as a trusted entity capable of delivering impactful science-based solutions in collaboration with partners worldwide. Ultimately, our institute is focused on engaging with farmers, foresters, industry experts, and non-profits to address the interactions between goals such as agricultural production, GHG mitigation, increasing adaptation to climate change impacts, enhancing environmental quality, and promoting rural and urban prosperity equitably. Research: Our research teams made advances in compiling benchmark data sets to be used both in future research, as well as in educational settings. The KGML team has recorded over 2000 observations across 178 experiments around the globe, and has shared these findings with courses being taught at the University of Minnesota and Prairie View A&M University. The KGML group published 5 scientific papers, gave more than 10 technical presentations, mentored 7 graduate students and postdocs, and applied for 1 provisional patent. The Climate Risks, Forest-Ag Adaptation group completed ~50% of their benchmark dataset across three separate models and designed two new graduate courses for North Carolina State University and the University of Minnesota in the Fall of 2024. Furthermore, they have initiated collaborative efforts with the Central America and Mexico Coniferous Resources Cooperative. All of these accomplishments supported the vision of AI-CLIMATE to foster collaboration across broad stakeholders. Education and workforce development (EWF): The flagship project for the EWF team in Year 1 was creating and implementing the Stakeholder Needs Assessment. This tool focuses on understanding the requirements of farmers, advisors, partners, and policymakers for integrating AI-infused tools into farm decision-making processes. The goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhance climate change adaptation, and foster synergies within the AI-Climate research team through continuous stakeholder engagement. Team members (Allison Chatrchyan and Candace Hulbert) developed a new course on Climate Smart Agriculture, with the USDA Northeast Climate Hub, for dairy farmers and advisors in NY, VT, PA and ME, through the Dairy Climate Adaptation. We developed and implemented a 7 week course, and will be supporting dairy farmers and their advisors to develop a climate adaptation or mitigation plan for their farm. Additionally, Candace Hulbert also worked with the USDA Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Fellowship (CAMF) to present her new On-Farm Disaster Preparedness and Planning module to northeastern and midwestern Women and Non-binary Vegetable growers and northeastern Diversified Agriculture and Agroforestry farmers. These modules can also be used for additional training with AI-climate Institute stakeholders. Additionally, we assisted with the development of the Digital Agriculture Online Course for Advisors (asynchronous) - Led by Purdue University - in development, to be offered by Fall 2024 Broadening Participation (BP)- At the Black Farmers Conference in Delaware State University, held on November 9, 2023, Bruce Erickson, delivered a presentation titled "Agriculture Technology Trends and Need to Know," addressing crucial developments in the field.
