Lessons learned from the Solutions from the Land Dialogue

Solutions from the Land (SfL), an initiative sponsored by the Farm Foundation and The Nature Conservancy, has begun a nation-wide collaboration and dialogue on land management. With active participation and input from nearly two hundred agricultural, forestry, conservation, business, academic and government leaders,  SfL in March 2013 released a groundbreaking  Pathways Report which underscored the need for land, water, and other natural resources to be managed both in an integrated manner and at the scale necessary for its vision to be realized. The report identified a number of near-term and long-term actions needed to support and accelerate the delivery of multiple solutions to the mega-challenges facing our nation and the world and spotlighted examples where innovative practices and land management approaches are taking place all across America. This presentation will feature summaries of lessons learned so far from the analysis and experiences of theSfL.
