Geospatial and Farming Systems Research Consortium (GFC)
Vision: Use data science to guide and transform smallholder agriculture
Approach:
- Integrate multiple methods
to understand dynamics of
farming systems using
spatial frameworks and
data analytics.
- Identify patterns of and
opportunities for
sustainable intensification
by developing and using
geospatial tools for
collecting and analyzing
data from field
experiments, household
surveys, census data, and
various ground based and
satellite sensors.
- Provide web-based
learning resources and
capacity building on data
science for agricultural
development.

11. The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on
Sustainable Intensification (SIIL) aims to become the global leader in
interdisciplinary research, knowledge sharing and capacity building on
sustainable intensification, producing measurable impacts on reducing
global hunger and poverty, and improving the nutrition of smallholder
farmers. This vision is supported by the associated Geospatial and Farming
Systems Research Consortium at University of California, Davis;
Appropriate Scale Mechanization Consortium at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign; Policy Research Consortium at Rutgers University; and
SOILS Consortium with International Fertilizer Development Center
(IFDC). In addition, SIIL supports research in each of the seven countries
(Senegal; Burkina Faso; Ethiopia; Tanzania; Malawi; Bangladesh; and
Cambodia) focused on sustainable intensification practices and a Center of
Excellence on Sustainable Agricultural Intensification and Nutrition (CE
SAIN) at Royal University of Agriculture in Cambodia.
