Dear Colleagues:

A. BACKGROUND

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia (CSIRO) have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) concerning Research Cooperation on the Advancing Innovations for Empowering NextGen AGriculturE (AI-ENGAGE) Initiative. The MoC provides an overarching framework to encourage collaboration between U.S., Japan, India, and Australia research communities working at the intersection of emerging technologies and agriculture and sets out the principles by which jointly supported activities might be developed.

By 2050, the world’s population is anticipated to increase to an estimated 9.7 billion people, with corresponding increases in food demand and pressure on land and water resources. Many of the impacts of these trends will be
