Social Network Analysis of Oregon Agricultural and Natural Resource Organizations
This project maps and analyzes collaboration networks among agricultural and natural resource organizations in Oregon to understand how partnerships and information flow across the system. Using social network analysis, the project examines which organizations act as key connectors and where gaps or silos may limit coordination.
The results help identify opportunities to strengthen cross-sector collaboration, improve outreach to producers, and enhance the effectiveness of water-related programs by leveraging existing institutional networks.
