Indicators
The UW-Extension Promoting Agricultural and Business Competitiveness and a Sustainable Environment Issue Team is developing a concise and practical set of economic and environmental indicators to measure the level of community sustainability. These indicators will be used by extension educators working with communities as qualitative measures around which participatory visioning and planning activities can be conducted. The indicators will also help Cooperative Extension faculty and citizen groups to establish benchmarks by which the impacts of outreach and educational programming can be measured. This draft list of indicators is a work in progress. Although initial testing has been conducted in Eau Claire County Wisconsin, substantial additional analysis and development is needed to complete the list. The goal of this project is a proven set of indicators of rural community sustainability.
