During the fall of 2011, Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (DASNR) faculty embarked on a process to document our future directions. This planning initially resulted in the identification of 11 Drivers of Change. Discussions were held to list the most critical issues, relate them to the Drivers of Change and identify the impacts of these issues on agriculture and quality of life in Oklahoma.

The publication Vision and Future Priority Directions & Goals of DASNR provides a short description of each of these Drivers, along with some discussion about ways these issues will impact the state’s agricultural constituencies over the next five to 10 years.
