Researchers together with state government, entrepreneurs, land stewards and community nonprofits will showcase how their partnerships have woven relationships across historical boundaries to produce meaningful change for community resilience. From soil health to ranching, agroforestry to local workforce development, and ecosystem restoration to Indigenous genealogy, this panel has formed long lasting, synergistic and abundant partnerships with each other in order to implement new ways to support biocultural agroecosystems in a changing world.
Abstract Collaborations across historical differences and sectoral boundaries are essential to realizing systemic change. This panel’s emerging alliance explores how restoring individual relationships to land can decrease collective climate vulnerability through improved resilience and adaptation in landscapes and communities. Panelists will discuss how a multiplicity of connections can be made when researchers ground themselves in a willingness to understand community, acknowledge community agency, affirm the value of community, and conduct themselves with clear and honest intent. This group represents active relationships that support access to opportunities for biocultural agroecosystem restoration and regeneration across broad agriculture and natural resource sectors. Weaving from policy, technology transfer, entrepreneurship, advocacy, land management practices, and Indigenous genealogy, this panel collaborates via transparency and trust to implement each of their priorities together. As connections are made to CTAHR technology and scholarship, including student internships and technical assistance, knowledge and information held in community is interwoven into these collaborative projects by ensuring respect through data governance and privacy. Attendees will be inspired by the panelistsʻ individual perspectives on what makes these collaborations work for their communities and ecosystems as they engage with the resources that CTAHR and the research community provide.
