** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** CLIMATE CHANGE THREATENS THE VIABILITY OF AGRICULTURE IN THE MIDWESTERN US WHERE CURRENT CROPPING SYSTEMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO THRIVE IN THE FUTURE. THE GOAL OF THE IMPACT2 PROJECT IS TO HELP A DIVERSE SET OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS AND LANDOWNERS IN THE CORN BELT ADAPT TO A CHANGING CLIMATE THROUGH SYSTEM TRANSFORMATION. IN THE FIRST OF THREE INTER-RELATED OBJECTIVES, OUR INTERDISCIPLINARY AND CROSS-ORGANIZATIONAL TEAM WILL ENGAGE DIVERSE PRODUCERS AND ADVISERS IN SCENARIO-BASED VISIONING SESSIONS HELD IN INDIANA, ILLINOIS AND IOWA. THESE VISIONING SESSIONS WILL CREATE A SHARED VIEW OF THE FUTURE AND HELP THE IMPACT2 TEAM UNDERSTAND STAKEHOLDER NEEDS FOR INFORMATION RELATED TO CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE. IN OUR SECOND OBJECTIVE, THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP A MENU-BASED RESOURCE PORTAL AND EDUCATOR GUIDES. THIS RESOURCE PORTAL WILL PROVIDE A CONSISTENT AND USABLE STARTING POINT FOR STAKEHOLDERS INTERESTED IN CLIMATE SMART INFORMATION, STRATEGIES, AND RECOMMENDATIONS. IN OUR THIRD OBJECTIVE, WE WILL BUILDOUT AND IMPLEMENT EXTENSION TRAINING MATERIALS FOR CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE. ULTIMATELY, THROUGH PARTICIPATORY DESIGN AND ONGOING FEEDBACK, WE WILL CREATE A USABLE ONLINE PORTAL THAT WILL BE USED BY AT LEAST 2000 STAKEHOLDERS AND WE WILL DELIVER TRAININGS TO A MINIMUM OF 500 AGRICULTURAL STAKEHOLDERS. OUR EFFORTS WILL CONTINUE BEYOND THE 3 YEARS OF FUNDING THROUGH TRAIN-THE-TRAINER SESSIONS AND INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE TOOL.
