The Targeting Working Lands and Operations pilot project aims to provide local decision-makers
with the research foundations, tools, and educational materials
necessary to identify and prioritize agricultural lands and
operations worthy of protection.
By coordinating citizen stakeholders, government officials,
and conservation professionals, our educational and dissemination
strategy will enhance public-private partnerships to advance Wisconsin’s bio-based
economy. If implemented, our
methods will address rural development issues and help to optimize
the performance of agricultural resources to nurture a sustainable
bio-based economy.
