About the event

Building Agricultural Resilience in a Changing Landscape
Join Conservation Nebraska and Dr. Craig Allen for a compelling discussion on the resilience of agricultural landscapes and why it matters now more than ever.

This presentation will explore two key dimensions of resilience: the ability of systems to bounce back from disturbance, and the more consequential—but rarer—collapse that occurs when critical thresholds are crossed. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples like the Dust Bowl, Dr. Allen will examine how biological invasions and other stressors can erode resilience and trigger systemic collapse. Learn how understanding these dynamics is essential for sustaining Nebraska’s agricultural ecosystems in an era of rapid change.

Dr. Craig Allen is a resilience scientist and professor in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He directs the Center for Resilience in Agricultural Working Landscapes (CRAWL) and serves on the Board of Directors for the Resilience Alliance, a global network of researchers focused on sustainability and complex systems.

Dr. Allen’s research explores the links between land use change, biological invasions, and ecological thresholds—particularly how these factors influence the resilience and potential collapse of agricultural systems.

He holds a Ph.D. in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Florida, an M.S. in Wildlife Science from Texas Tech University, and a B.S. in Biology from the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay. Before joining UNL, he led Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units in Nebraska and South Carolina and served as an associate professor at Clemson University.
