Learn from a diverse group of organizations about the data on underserved producers they have collected and analyzed, and how that data and analysis can inform strategies to strengthen outreach to more farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners.
Consumer behavior in rural markets is influenced by various social and cultural factors. Market segmentation in rural areas considers characteristics like family size, social status, and the influence of opinion leaders. Understanding the rural consumer lifestyle requires examining psychology, sociology, and economic factors. There are several myths about rural consumers, such as that they only buy cheap products. However, rural consumers now desire new products and brands and are influenced by demonstration and retailers. Rural market research uses both primary and secondary data collection methods to systematically study rural consumer behavior and identify opportunities.

Scoping Study of Land Tenure and Land Governance Issues in Latin A...Graciela Mariani
While there have been extensive discussions, research papers, and development of land policies, and tools to target the needs of the poor and the most vulnerable in the Latin America region, there is still insufficient visibility, and attention to land tools that are affordable, accessible, and responsive to the complexity of land issues and the diversity of social, cultural and institutional contexts in the region.
Consequently this Scoping Study has the following objectives:
To further the understanding of land governance and land tenure security issues, institutional dynamics, polices, land tools, and actors in the region in conjunction with identified regional and local consultants and partners.
To highlight the major land issues, challenges and opportunities in the region as a basis for future decisions to enhancing partnerships and engagement of key players in the LAC land sector at regional and country levels.
To contribute to knowledge sharing, increase awareness, support capacity development of key stakeholders in understanding land governance and the potential impact of implementing land-‐ related policies, tools and approaches that are pro-‐poor, gender appropriate, effective and sustainable for securing land and property rights for all;

This document summarizes guidelines for providing language access to limited English proficiency (LEP) individuals. It discusses an overview of federal LEP guidelines, examples of successful outreach programs, challenges, and opportunities. One successful program discussed engages Spanish-speaking youth and communities in conservation through bilingual outreach, volunteer opportunities, and nature programs. Another program discussed the importance of surveying the target population, in this case Hispanic residential landowners, to tailor programming to their needs and interests in areas like sustainable land management practices.
The panel discussion focused on rural research needs from a federal perspective. Key points included the need for more localized data analysis and research to better support tailored rural policies and programs. A systems approach was advocated to understand communities holistically by examining interrelationships between various economic, social and environmental factors. Finally, issue-focused research on topics like infrastructure, economic transitions, and demographics was seen as important to inform rural policies and address challenges faced on the ground.

Model Forests, Social and political impacts, by Josique, IUFRO World CongressJosique Lorenzo Lemire
Presentation by Josique Lorenzo at the IUFRO World Congress in Salt Lake City, USA, October 7th 2014.
Session 26. International to local forest governance: taking stock of political theories, methodologies and research findings
Organizers: Lukas Giessen (University of Goettingen, Germany), Bas Arts (Wageningen University, Netherlands), Florian Kraxner (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria) & Constance McDermott (University of Oxford, UK)
This session aims at taking stock of innovative theoretical, methodological and empirical achievements in forest governance research, from the local to the global level.
Abstract. A Model Forest is a landscape-level approach focused on people working together voluntarily in partnership towards a common vision of the human sustainable development of a large territory in which forest ecosystems play an important role. In the Ibero-American region, there are currently 29 Model Forests in 15 countries, which means that the approach is having a potential impact on the management of over 30 million hectares and on more than 6 million people. The emphasis is usually placed on environmental and economic benefits, whereas this research examines the main social and political impacts which emerge from the analysis of the reports submitted by the Model Forests to the regional network secretariat during the last decade and the data collected through interviews and monitoring activities. The study indicates that Model Forests constitute effective platforms for the application of international agreements, public policies and State programs at the local level, and that they are able to influence decision-makers through advocacy. The paper reviews the success stories of several Model Forests in this regard. Finally, even though the Model Forests process is still at its early stages, the study shows how it can drive long-term sustainability and social change in the communities.
This document discusses various research methodologies that can be used in a study, including descriptive research, surveys, case studies, content analysis, feasibility studies, and experimental research. Descriptive research aims to describe present conditions, while surveys can be used to gather information from respondents. Case studies provide an in-depth analysis of a particular individual, group, or situation. Content analysis involves objectively analyzing documents. Feasibility studies determine the viability of a proposed project. Experimental research manipulates variables to determine causal relationships.

The document discusses the Natural Resources in Your Backyard (NRYB) program. It aims to increase awareness of forest stewardship options among woodland owners. The program will be evaluated based on desired outcomes like involvement in land use policy. Two example projects are described: the Woodland Advisor Program educates citizens to share knowledge; and Sustainable Forestry Interpretive Sites create a driving tour highlighting forests. The program leverages funding and in-kind resources from partners. Input is sought on engaging youth and bringing the program to more communities.

Information seeking behavior of hispanic american patronsMaria Gagne
This document discusses information seeking behavior of Hispanic American patrons for public library services. It covers topics such as information seeking behavior, user group studies in public libraries, the Hispanic American and immigrant user groups, and issues with library services for Hispanics. It also examines the information seeking behavior of Hispanic Americans and immigrants. Additionally, it provides recommendations for how public libraries can address the information needs of Hispanic Americans and immigrants through services such as developing Spanish language collections, literacy programs, and ESL/computer classes. The goal is for libraries to better understand Hispanic patrons and provide suitable services.
The document discusses concepts and systems for marketing information in rural areas, including collecting data on crop production and prices, conducting market research to understand rural consumers and markets, and analyzing market intelligence to inform policy decisions. It outlines approaches for rural market surveys and research, as well as challenges in collecting accurate primary data from rural populations.

practices
• There is limited knowledge of Hispanic Forest

objectives
• While the enumeration study helped mano-Y-
ola’s team better understand HFLO presence and
general characteristics more research
information is needed to define an average US
Hispanic Forest landowner
