Project Background
The PACE Policy Dashboard grew out of the Agricultural Land Protection scorecard that was developed as part of Farms Under Threat: The State of the States. Public program managers and other practitioners were interested in the information we had collected to support the scoring for the PACE policy scorecard. We expanded the qualitative elements to enable comparisons across states and share effective approaches.
