Analyzes efforts made by communities and policy makers around the world to push beyond conventional approaches to environmental decision making.Breaking Boundaries analyzes efforts made by communities and policy makers around the world to push beyond conventional approaches to environmental decision making to enhance public acceptance, sustainability, and the impact of those decisions in local contexts. The current political climate has generated uncertainty among citizens, industry interests, scientists, and other stakeholders, but by applying concepts from various perspectives of environmental communication and deliberative democracy, this book offers a series of lessons learned for both public officials and concerned citizens. The contributors offer a broader understanding of how individuals and groups can get involved effectively in environmental decisions through traditional formats as well as alternative approaches ranging from leadership capacity building to social media activity to civic technology.

This workbook is designed to be a guide for planning and delivering engaging presentations for agricultural audiences. We believe that to effectively communicate in the field of agriculture, one should be strategic- a communicator must consider the context and their audience, in addition to the message's topic or content. Inside, students will find concepts, techniques, and skills they can use to make strategic decisions as professional agricultural communicators. Unlike a textbook, Presentation & Sales Strategies for Agricultural Audiences provides ample space for writing, drawing, brainstorming, and drafting. The pages allow students to take notes, highlight content, critique examples, and complete activities.
