We are recruiting ranchers for an exciting project looking at soil health, environmental outcomes, profitability, and wellbeing across a range of grazing management practices. If you know folks who may be interested, please share!

Have you heard of RELATIONALITY or RELATIONAL THINKING, and wondered what that really meant? It is supposed to be an antidote to over-reductionist thinking Empirical examples might help. check out our NEW PAPER in People and Nature led by Harold Eyster : besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

…and that’s a wrap for interviews with farmers/ranchers in Michigan!! As part of the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) and Noble Research ... 3M project, @ethan_m_gordon and I are learning lots about grazing management and decision-making in this sandy, green, Great Lakes state.

You know those people who are the GLUE that holds a collaborative project together? Micaela, one of our regional proj managers, is one of those people. So fun to meet in person at the Noble Research ... campus in OK in between rancher interviews!!

I attended my 10 (!!) yr reunion at Wellesley College and got to catch up with my Env Studies thesis advisor, Dr. Jay Turner, who supported and inspired my love of SES/env soc sci research. Immensely grateful for the wonderful mentors I’ve had (and hope to pay it forward)!

If you are at Pathways: Human Dimensions of Wildlife Conference, come connect at this session today! Excited to share about the Indigenous Kinship Circle, a project with the Central Grasslands Roadmap, that centers Indigenous knowledge and leadership to inform grasslands conservation and resilience.

Howdy, WY! Last round of interviews for the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR) Noble Research ... project linking soil/env health, grazing mgmt, and producer well-being is closer to home in this complex, vast, semi-arid, public-private-tribal land tenure context! And it has ok sunsets. :)

New paper!! We looked at the use of monitoring and other adaptive mgmt practices among MT ranchers, finding that monitoring may be an important feedback tool, but we need to know more about what kind of monitoring will be useful AND used! doi.org/10.1016/j.rama…

New paper out on beef + sustainability, a complex topic indeed! We examined *U.S. beef producer perspectives,* highlighting the key components and constraints they perceive to achieving desirable sustainability outcomes in the industry. doi.org/10.1007/s43621…
