摘要
The Wind River Indian Reservation undertook the development of an agricultural resource management plan in 2015. The reservation is 8903 sq.km of which 63% is in crop and grazing lands. This project’s aim was to create a community-based integrated plan. A series of community meetings identified 83 issues and topics relating to agricultural development on the reservation. Using information from community meetings, the final agricultural resource management plan consists of 9 major elements, with 12 goals, 46 objectives and 88 policies. Three key issues are addressed in the plan: provide the reservation with a plan that leads to self-management of their agricultural resources;integrate the major agricultural elements as defined by the community into policies;and, create a governance structure that fosters agricultural development into the future.
