Effective Community and Stakeholder Engagement to Reduce Conflict on, and Secure Water for and from, Agriculture

This interactive workshop will focus on the use of stakeholder engagement as a way to prevent conflict over water for and from agriculture. Based on a U.S. Department of Agriculture-funded multi-year project, this workshop will a) introduce participants to the types of conflicts that arise in water and agriculture related settings, b) discuss the theoretical and practical basis this project is using to address such conflicts through stakeholder engagement; and c) the methodologies being used and developed to assess the impact of such stakeholder engagement processes in complex situations.
