Sustaining Community Change through Participatory Action Research: A Framework for Enduring Impact in Agricultural Systems

Florida’s residents, local governments, and communities face challenges such as land use and growth and the interface between rural/urban and incorporated/ unincorporated areas and climate change. 

Florida Extension programs focus on teaching alternative strategies that can be used to address these issues and to build leadership in our communities to direct developments.
