UVM researchers have collected mountains of data and created thousands of reports, guides, fact sheets, and other resources. The NWCS team alone has completed more than 50 reports per year for the past 20 years. But how easy are they to find? How would a farmer or legislator access these resources?
Through the AgConnect database, everyone has access to reports and other resources from research past and present in one place.
- Farmers can use it to find information generated by other farmers.
- Researchers can use it to identify gaps in knowledge.
- Politicians can use it to craft legislation based on reliable, locally generated data.
- Program leaders can use it to inform offerings that serve farmers, the environment, and the community.
- Service providers can use it to strengthen how they support farmers and other agricultural stakeholders.
- Neighbors can use it to better understand farmers’ practices and how they impact the environment and community.
