Crops are bred to be resilient against disease, heat, drought and other detrimental conditions. Producers must be resilient in confronting the evolving economics of ag production, unpredictable weather and the ever-changing technology of agricultural production. But what does it mean for a landscape to be resilient? That is the question the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s new Center for Resilience in Agricultural Working Landscapes sets out to answer, said Craig Allen, a professor in the School of Natural Resources and director of the new center, which is up and running after being formally approved last year. In its simplest form, resilience is the measure of how much disruption a landscape can withstand before it turns into a different kind of landscape.
