conducted during the past 15 years in the United States and other countries, resulting in nearly 150 citations included in the reference section. We included change and resilience theoretical models. We created a framework for exploring risk and resilience concepts related to farms and farm families based on a socio- ecological model for programming. For this new edition, we updated the literature review and financial citations and included more information about mental health and stressors related to COVID-19 and the farming enterprise and populations, emphasizing women and minority farmers. We added a new section focused on community resilience as related to farm populations. And we added tools for teaching and assessment. Finally, we included many audio and video recordings that amplify the concepts and often include stories from a diverse representation of farmers.
Vision. Our modified conceptual framework is grounded in the 2014 Cooperative Extension National Framework for Health and Wellness (Braun et al., 2014) with our slightly modified vision shown below:
In the 21st century, Extension can do for the resilience of farms and the farming population what it did for American agriculture in the 20th century.
