Scenario Planning for Resilient Agricultural Systems: A Process for Engaging Controversy
Powers, Crystal A.; Williams, Tyler; Stowell, Rick R.
Journal of Extension, v59 n3 Article 5 2021
Resiliency to weather extremes is already a part of farming in the Northern Plains, but now climate change is adding new uncertainties. Engaging farmers on this often controversial topic can be challenging given the wide range of beliefs farmers hold about climate change. Scenario planning provides a framework for Extension and agricultural system stakeholders to come together using the latest climate science to discover robust adaptive management options, prioritize Extension programming needs, and provide an open forum for starting the discussion. [The scenario planning program was a joint project between Nebraska Extension and South Dakota State University Extension with funding provided by the USDA Northern Plains Climate Hub.]
