Activities

1. -- Priority Areas and Indicators --

   The Workload Indicators Table is the exhaustive list of the information gathered by IFAS PDEC to determine the impacts of our Extension programs.

   1. Browse through the list and highlight all of the indicator questions that can be targeted using a program related to agroecology.
   2. Identify each of these indicators by the goals of agroecology (production, environment, society).
   3. Tally up your results for each of the goals.
   4. Get together with a small group of 3-4 people to compare results.

2. -- Agroecology in Extension --

   This is our opportunity to develop and plan for some deliverables from this workshop, so let’s brainstorm as a group possible programs and outcomes that we can plan for in the future.

   • Who wants to help the organizers prepare EDIS documents from these materials?
   • Who wants to develop a follow-up program for our Extension audience?
   • Who wants to plan an opportunity for the combination of two existing programs?
   • Who wants to develop a whole new program for a public audience?
