While much of the research behind these strategies has been conducted in the context of climate adaptations in vulnerable communities and ecosystems, such as coastal fisheries, rainfed agriculture, and floodplain cities, the principles that underlie these processes are universal. The same strategies and guidelines can be tailored for any issue that requires the public to become more informed, generate options, and understand advantages and disadvantages of various choices. In these situations, Extension agents can facilitate a process of thoughtful deliberation to help communities find common ground and move toward finding solutions.<br><a href="https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fr430">https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fr430</a></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p><span style="margin: 0px; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> ER -
