Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001565
The Rhizosphere Observations Optimizing Terrestrial Sequestration (ROOTS) initiative is a funding opportunity offered by the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E), which is part of the U.S. Department of Energy. This program aims to enhance energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through innovative energy technologies.
ROOTS specifically targets the development of advanced agricultural practices by addressing soil health and carbon sequestration. With historical agricultural practices resulting in soil degradation and increased greenhouse gas emissions, there is a pressing need for new plant cultivars with improved root systems. These new cultivars can enhance soil quality and biogeochemical processes, potentially lowering atmospheric CO2 levels without sacrificing crop yields.
The program emphasizes the creation of non-destructive, field-deployable technologies to accurately measure root and soil functional properties. It also aims to establish predictive models to accelerate the selection and development of crops that can improve soil carbon storage, decrease nitrous oxide emissions, and enhance water use efficiency. The ambitious goals include increasing carbon deposition depth by 50%, cutting N2O emissions from fertilizers by 50%, and boosting water productivity by 25%. If successful, these advancements could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. agriculture, while bolstering the resilience of agricultural production in the face of climate change.
