About Us

IntroductionPractitioners, Supporters, and Collaborators

Since 2014, these organizations have enabled the growth of Resilience Design through the development of technical resources, demonstration and training sites, practical experience, and evidence building. Without these champions, RD wouldn't be where it is today. From funders, researchers, and implementers to collaborators and facilitators, it takes a broad spectrum of support to bring Resilience Design to landscapes and communities across the globe.

We are developing approaches for understanding the impacts of RD on key impact areas: biodiversity, soil health, and hydrology. Our research approach utilizes technologies that allow us to develop quantitative metrics at a range of spatial and temporal scales.
