Ona Ferguson, Kate Harvey, Stacie Nicole Smith, Jeffrey EdelsteinThis paper will consider psychological barriers—a term that we use to encompass both cognitive barriers and construal biases—in participatory land-use planning processes. We define cognitive barriers generally as psychological structures, attributes, processes, and predispositions that inhibit the full, rational, creative consideration of information. Construal biases involve the undue or excessive personalization of issues or situations, the failure to properly consider the alternative perceptions or cognitions of others, or the inability to disassociate other parties’ personal views from situational positions or professional roles (if you are a planner or other public servant, you may recognize yourself as a frequent victim of this bias). Both phenomena affect the productive, “rational” consideration of plans and proposals in land use decision-making.
Food and Farm Policy Project
The Farm and Food Policy Project (FFPP) was established to allow participating organizations to work collaboratively to advance four interlocking policy initiatives designed to unite diverse constituencies and help to build a more sustainable food and agriculture system in the United States. The Project had four broad goals: 1) promote new agricultural markets and rural entrepreneurship, 2) enhance the economic viability of small- and moderate-sized family farms and ranches, 3) reward environmental stewardship, 4) combat hunger by increasing access to healthy food through community food systems.
