Diverse Groups

One means by which educators can promote dialog about the needs in the county among diverse groups of constituents and stakeholders is to hold a community forum. A community forum is an excellent program-planning tool because it can promote thoughtful discussions where many different points of view are shared. It also affords community members the opportunity to share specific information about emerging program opportunities and needs, as well as provide broadbased input from key clientele groups concerning their priorities for future educational programs. This document is PE070, one of a series of the Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611: First published: October 2003.  https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pd059

Data Statistics

Community forums are wonderful vehicles for obtaining input from county or area clientele groups about the needs, issues, problems, and/or future directions for Extension programming. A community forum can supplement secondary data/statistics (analyzed needs) by enabling educators to learn the expressed needs/issues/problems of their clientele groups and stakeholders. The first article in this series, Community Forums: An Effective Program Planning Tool (PD059), provides more detailed information about the value and benefits of, and two methods for, conducting community forums. This second article in the series presents keystrategies for conducting community forums as well as ways to avoid potential pitfalls that hinder the effectiveness of community forums. This document is PE071, one of a series of the Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, University of Florida, UF/ IFAS, Gainesville, FL 32611: First published: October 2003. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pd060

This article provides an overview of an emerging holistic framework for planning and implementation of online programs calling for shared strategic planning needs assessment strategies, and establishing program consensus. Guided by a program vision, curriculum and instructional strategies are identified along with internal and external supports needed for successful implementation. The framework suggests demand-driven strategic planning, benchmarking approaches to implementation practices, and interactive feedback to ensure effective program planning and implementation.

Phytosanitary Measures

With the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, specific principles and rules were conceived. These rules, or Sanitary & Phytosanitary Measures (e.g., SPS Agreement), relate to three primary issues or concerns: food safety, animal health, and plant health. While still controversial, the WTO/SPS Agreement does provide for more detailed control of food safety concerns and for more standardization and harmonization regarding rules and regulations. This document is FSHN034, one of a series of the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, IFAS, University of Florida.

Over Time

Most homeowners over-water their lawns, which may damage or kill the lawn over time. Excess irrigation is one of the major causes of lawn demise and may include problems such as a shallow root system; increased disease, weed, or insect infestation; reduced drought tolerance; increased thatch and excessive growth; and reduced tolerance to other stresses such as shade and soil problems. To avoid over-watering, look for signs that the lawn needs water. This document is ENH63, one of a series of the Department of Environmental Horticulture, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
